Erik emerged from prison after serving a 20-year sentence. He had violently attacked in a fit of rage his neighbor when the neighbor assaulted some homeless children who were being too loud. Now free but alone, as friends deserted him and his wife left him, he walked down the old road to the beach where his boat remained untouched – the only thing still in his possession.
Inside the boat's large room, most of Erik's stolen furniture had been taken away, leaving just an old chair and blanket behind. He settled into this familiar space, covering himself with the blanket as he drifted off to sleep from exhaustion.
The next morning, Erik awoke at sunrise and went fishing for his breakfast. After eating, he made up his mind to leave his past life in this country behind him and set sail on his boat towards the open seas.
