The Breakers: Foreword

I wanted something minimalistic, something raw and tender at the same time, and most importantly something complete, and so I took a little break from the screen writing to put together a short story, an essay, a commentary of sorts that is a close psychological relative to the script. Although it heavily draws on experiences from my daily walks on the breakwater, and a lot of the scenes have indeed transpired in some shape or form, this is a piece of fiction and as such it is transmuted, altered to fit a character, to serve a purpose. It is still quite personal but more so in the way any piece of writing is personal to its maker than in actuality. What I want to say is, this is a story by me, not a story about me. I don't hope that you enjoy it, I hope that it triggers a thought process in your heads, I hope it wakes up something human. "The Breakers"
