Sunday Short: The Breakers by Megan McGrath

We are armpit deep in the Pacific when I tell him I have left you. You are living with your uncle under some arrangement I don’t want to know about. But there have been northerlies for a month and the on-shore winds keep bringing in the stingers; so even though you are gone, I have not told my father.
I feel like I should disclaimer with the fact that Megan's a friend of mine, but even so her entry into Flashers, The Breakers, is one of my favourites to come out of the project. It's a bittersweet little thing about a father and his grown-up child as they surf and tread water emotionally. It's kind of perfect.

You can read The Breakers over at the Seizure website.
