It was along the eastern shore he traveled, his head low and eyes narrowed. He didn't look up to gaze across the infinite waters. His paws kicked the delicate sand irritatedly, letting out a small annoyed grunt. So many things were going on in his mind at that moment. He had left his family and friends for a change in his life, but he would wake up each day feeling like a rejected mess. Perhaps it was his loneliness that was getting to his emotions. He wanted someone in his life, someone who he wouldn't leave.
He finally tilted his head to the side, noticing faint islands in swimmable distance from his position. He had to get himself away from the continent, escape his thoughts. Splashing into the numbing, freezing water, the man began to paddle his way to the closest and smallest island. It was quite a distance, but the large creature managed to use all his effort and pull himself to the island's beach. It was beautifully deserted with a wide beach, lush forests and many creeks leading deeper into the island. A cold breeze ruffled his fur as he bounded towards the closest creek, further into the greenery. Bending down, he took a long sip, savouring every drop of water he took. His mind held the impression he was the only one on the island. Was he?
