Now Playing: The Strange Love of Shemoria
Topic: Short Stories
As the sun sets over the Carribbian Islands and the blue waters begain to calm, a beautiful woman strolls along the white sandy beach with the wind blowing through her long silky black hair. She is somewhat heartbroken because the man she loved had been killed in the Iraquian War. As she walked along the beach thinking of the good times they had together she began to cry. Suddenly, there appeared a dolphin in the ocean that seemed to be following her as she walked along. The dolphin would dance around upon his tail and make sounds as if to get her attention. Then it hit her, something her fiance had told her on his last visit.
Shemoria, if something should happen to me, and I leave this earth and this human body, I would return as a dolphin to let you know that I am alright and is still watching over you." I'd want you to carry on with your life because I'll always be with you in your heart".
She wipes the tears from her eyes, looks at the dolphin and smiles, with a flick of his tail the dolphin flips happily and plays around in the emerald blue waters. But that moment of happiness was disrupted by the frantic call of a man that had washed out into the deep edge of the ocean. The man is fighting to keep from drowning and sharks was coming to attack. The mighty dolphin streaks through the waves with lightning speed ramming the sharks as he pulls the man to shore where Shemoria is standing. He stands on his tail once again and flips back into the ocean and disappears. Feeling that it was the spirit of her beloved fiance Shemoria calleds to the dolphin Miko! Miko! come back! Don't leave me.
The dolphin surfaced once again as if to say goodbye, and like magic he was gone. The man he had rescued and brought to shore struggled to get ot his feet, as he tried to get up he'd fall back into the sand Shemoria went over to help him. Being very weak he managed to set up,"what happened to me, how did I get here?" I remember being in a world of darkness, and there was a dolphin with eyes that sparkled like diamonds, the biggest dolphin I've ever seen!He told me I had a great task before me, and I end up here. Shemoria looked at the man who bore a striking resemblance to Miko. Come, you need rest you can tell all about it later.
As the two them walked down the beach, all of Shemoria's pain and grief began to fade. She looks at the man and says"tell me, what is your name, mine is Shemoria. He looks at her and replies" my name is Sias Se' ," it's an old family name my grandmother gave to me. Shemoria stopped suddenly, she was stunned, Miko's nickname was Sias Se'. It stood for "loving person" a military friend gave it to him when he first joined his batallion. This is so strange to me, Sias Se takes her by the hand and smiles. The world is full of strange things and happenings, it's as if we are ment to be in each others lives.
I know right now I am happy. As they walked down the beach, the dolphin appears once again riding the waves on his tail. It seemed as if he had a smile on his face this time, he watch them for a while then disappeared back into the ocean and was never seen again. Shemoria and Sias Se' went on to live a happy and long life on the Islands.
Some say the dolphin was Miko that returned his alter ego to take care of Shemoria because he loved her so much.
Others say that Sias Se' is Miko that returned from the dead because God wanted them to be together, he made them for each other and Miko was unselfish with his love for Shemoria.
