The Desperate Riders

Where are these two riding away, unmindful of the tracks changing from dry to wet, and from sand to sea? What is the single-minded determination that drives them?

The sea is deep and tumultuous, and not the ideal terrain for the brave animals that carry them. They need to get on a faster mode of transport. Will a helicopter pull them up, or a whale help? Will they find a fisherman’s trawler, familiar with the routes?

That ship sailing in the distant blue waters gives hope. One of his parents is on that, and they hope to reunite. Will they?
