The tale o the Seaman

It was once in a very distant place in the sea, an old man lived alone and sadness.

All mornings he looked at the sea and never saw any people near his ship, only the fishes come together. The days never ended and the solitude was make he gets crazy. He began to speak with the birds, the clouds, the stars... but he never received an answer.

He wasn't hungry, or thirst, but he wants to know a friend to help him on his activities and to do company on his long travels.

One day he moored its ship in a port and see a people, a little boy sit meters of it distances from where he was. "Oh, thanks god"... He runs in the direction of the boy but when he arrived next the boy he disappeared.

The old man began to cry during a long time. Minutes after its happen he feel a hand in his back, looked at upward and see the boy again. Afraid he fall in the ground but the boy goes in his direction e spoke "Sir, my name in John. I live here with my family. I saw you moor your ship and I came to help sir. Sorry if I scared you, aren't my intention"

The old mad wasn't believe in one word and ran fast to the ship, free the moor, and go away.

Nevermore the seaman was seen again.

The madness is inside of all us, don't leave that it controls you.
