00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: Hi, it is Devlin. I want to take a moment

2
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:37,000
before today's story to share something extremely important. Please don't

3
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,240
skip this notice. It's just too important to ignore. As

4
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,320
you may already know, recently, several adult podcasts just like

5
00:00:46,439 --> 00:00:52,039
Central Awakenings have been suddenly removed from major platforms. These

6
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:56,399
weren't taken down by the creators. They were taken down

7
00:00:56,439 --> 00:01:02,359
by the platforms themselves, removing the podcast without notice. We

8
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,799
have seen this before, when YouTube remove my video channel,

9
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,680
when SoundCloud removed my audio channel, there was no notice,

10
00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:17,400
no warning. They were just closed down overnight, leaving thousands

11
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:22,120
of listeners frustrated. It is part of an ongoing assault

12
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:26,000
by the powers that be to censor anything they deem

13
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:30,959
unsuitable for you to enjoy. So to make sure you

14
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,959

So for now, just lay back and enjoy tonight's story.

25
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,000
The gentle crash of the waves woke Tests again, like

26
00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:34,599
so many mornings before, She never wanted to spend a

27
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,759
night away from Finn. From the moment they first spoke.

28
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,680
She couldn't imagine him not being in her life. Since

29
00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:47,240
he went away, she really had eight to be with

30
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,639
him all over again. Not wanting to leave this place

31
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:56,039
her memory of him, Tess refused to open her eyes.

32
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,400
Yet the moment she did, she knew reality would flood

33
00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:05,000
back in and she would have to face his lonely

34
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:11,000
life all over again. The heckling of sea gulls bombarded

35
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,960
her senses, their pained wails shattering the memory she was

36
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,560
immersed in, the glow of the sun, burned at her eyelids,

37
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:25,000
punishing her for wanting to be here for a little

38
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,759
bit longer. Eventually, she had no choice but to open

39
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,159
her eyes and suffer the assault of reality once again,

40
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:38,319
to leave this place that she could not bear, to

41
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,360
be away from the all too familiar caress of velvet

42
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:49,919
seaweed drifted down her legs, the final embrace of the sea,

43
00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:56,039
releasing her once again back into the normal world. The

44
00:03:56,199 --> 00:04:02,719
tide receded slowly and drifted back to life, back to

45
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,919
this painful reality, a reality she no longer wanted part of.

46
00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:12,439
For the first couple of months after she lost Finn,

47
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,720
she tried to carry on. She really did. She held

48
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:22,040
down a job, kept doing normal stuff. But something was

49
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:27,319
always missing, something much bigger than just Finn. They always

50
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,439
spoke about the connection that they shared, something truly unique

51
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:38,639
that just kept pulling them together wherever they were. Tess

52
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,480
never felt that more than the days, weeks, and months

53
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,680
that followed that fateful night when the boat went down.

54
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,600
There was only one survivor, a young deckhead who had

55
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:55,199
completely lost his mind. She wanted to know what had happened,

56
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,160
but the poor lad could only keep on about monsters

57
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:03,720
in his broken ear. English days after the inquest, he

58
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,839
headed as far inland as he could. Apparently, he took

59
00:05:07,879 --> 00:05:11,000
a job as a mechanic, as far away from the

60
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,800
sea as he would possibly manage. Even though the last

61
00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:19,879
tendrils of the night had fallen away, Tess could still

62
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,759
fill the connection. Some days. It was so strong and

63
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,600
it squeezed at her heart, but the truth remained. The

64
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,959
closest she was to the sea, the stronger she felt it,

65
00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:35,879
the more it consumed her, just as she had been

66
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,319
consumed by Finn, so much so that she quit her

67
00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:44,519
job in the city two months after that night, begged

68
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,079
and borrowed enough money to buy a coastal cafe so

69
00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:51,399
she could be close to the sea every day, all

70
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:57,959
day she needed it. The journey back up the beach

71
00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:02,639
was always slower, The sand dragged at her feet, and

72
00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:06,000
she had to fight the urge to return, to go

73
00:06:06,079 --> 00:06:08,240
back to that spot and wait for the sea to

74
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:13,680
take her. God, she prayed for that moment and then

75
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:21,480
this wretched existence, maybe one day, but not today. Reaching

76
00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:23,319
the foot of the cliffs at the end of the

77
00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:28,279
cove was always the most difficult part. It always felt

78
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:34,079
like she was leaving Finn behind. Every single step burned

79
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,079
through her heart as she walked up the path, the

80
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:42,519
most difficult steps she ever had to take. Reaching the top,

81
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,839
test stopped and took a deep breath, as she did

82
00:06:45,879 --> 00:06:52,040
every morning, stealing herself to face another day. She turned

83
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,800
to look out to see one last time, determined not

84
00:06:55,959 --> 00:07:02,160
to cry again. Somewhere in the distance, the clouds announced

85
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,800
as storm was brewing, and just for a moment, she

86
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:09,720
wondered if Finn was aware of the storm before it hit.

87
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,360
Of course he was. He'd been at sea all his life.

88
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,120
It was in his blood. She just prayed it was

89
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:22,399
quick and painless when the last moment of Finn's brief

90
00:07:22,519 --> 00:07:27,600
life faded away. Clearing her thoughts with a shake of

91
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,240
her head, she turned and faced the cafe she had

92
00:07:32,279 --> 00:07:36,600
bought four years ago. Over the door, the remains of

93
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:43,120
the ship's nameboard stood proud real lyon still had a

94
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,000
certain ring to it and always had people asking what

95
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,000
it meant. And then she could recount stories about her,

96
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,839
Finn and the sea. Every story seemed to keep him

97
00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:59,279
alive that little longer. Without even giving it a thought,

98
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,720
she added coffee beans to the machine, relaxing a little

99
00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:12,120
as its familiar sounds and intense aroma filled the caffe test.

100
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,600
Breathing returned to normal for the first time since the beach.

101
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:22,759
As the machine gurgled and fizzed with the promise of caffeine,

102
00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:27,360
she turned to the pitcher window, facing the nemesis of

103
00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:31,879
the sea. From her safe haven. She briefly wondered how

104
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,039
many minutes of the day she spent looking out to

105
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:41,240
the distant horizon, willing his ship to appear, every time,

106
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:45,320
to be met only by frustration. The first coffee of

107
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,240
the day always sank very quickly. It wasn't at all

108
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,679
about the flavor, It was only about the caffeine she

109
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:57,200
needed to get through another day. She never actually tasted

110
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,320
the coffee until the third cop a sure sign it

111
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,360
was time to breathe the shower. The shower itself held

112
00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:08,919
no fears for her. It was the journey to the

113
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,080
shower that held so much pain, taking her past the

114
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,840
bed that went unused, the bed they should have shared,

115
00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:20,639
the bed he should be laying in right now. Although

116
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,720
Finn never actually lived here, his presence weighed heavy in

117
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:30,639
every room, particularly the bedroom. There were times when she'd

118
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,240
just catch something out of the corner of her eye,

119
00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:37,639
a glimpse of shadow, as she would swear he was there.

120
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,200
This was their dream. They'd spoken about it so often,

121
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,200
even made plans, but there was always a reason to delay,

122
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,960
Wait until to morrow, until there weren't any to Morrow's left.

123
00:09:55,039 --> 00:09:58,759
Dragging her feet step by the laborious step up the

124
00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:04,120
wooden staircase. She passed the bedroom, barely opening her eyes

125
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,919
enough to see the bed that tormented her, and walked

126
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,919
into the bathroom. A roll top bath dominated the space.

127
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,120
Like most of the furniture here, it had already been

128
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,919
in place when she bought the building, and she suspected

129
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,080
had been here as long as the building itself. It

130
00:10:25,159 --> 00:10:29,039
was certainly too heavy to consider moving without an army

131
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:34,639
of men to help her. Fingers caressed its curves mindlessly

132
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,360
during bad storms. It had been her sanctuary, her haven,

133
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,320
a safe place in the ravages of the tempest that

134
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:52,399
kept her near water, embraced in his arms again, however

135
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:58,039
tenuous that might be. Draping her clothes over the old

136
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:04,440
wooden chair groaned under its light burden. She eased herself

137
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,279
into the warm water of the shower. That contact with

138
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:15,600
water again with fin. Lightning flashed in the distance somewhere outside,

139
00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:19,720
bringing shadows to life in the shower. The boom of

140
00:11:19,879 --> 00:11:26,559
thunder echoed Finn's voice, resonating deep inside her mind her body.

141
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,399
The weight of the shadows pressed against her back, forcing

142
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,559
her against the wall of the shower. The first drops

143
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:40,080
of rain hissed at the window, speaking his words as

144
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:47,200
the shadows cocooned her body. Mine was there in her mind,

145
00:11:47,919 --> 00:11:52,440
not spoken, just felt, felt with a passion that longed

146
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,720
to be taken, a passion that reminded her of another shower,

147
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:04,720
another place, another, the avalanche of water moving between their bodies,

148
00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:12,240
accentuating the sensations that vibrated between them. Shadows interlaced her

149
00:12:12,279 --> 00:12:16,840
fingers as she gripped at the wall, holding them tightly

150
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,840
as she could fill fins. Orrect cock pressing against her

151
00:12:21,919 --> 00:12:26,000
ass cheeks. The heat of his kneed fueled her own

152
00:12:26,039 --> 00:12:30,840
desire as she parted her legs, wishing to fill him

153
00:12:30,879 --> 00:12:36,159
inside her once again. The caress of water mirrored his lips,

154
00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:41,960
warm were sensations moving up and down her back as

155
00:12:42,039 --> 00:12:48,200
her hand. His hand slipped between her thighs, teasing at

156
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:53,200
the warm entrance to her sex, Parting her lips, the

157
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,799
heat of the tip of his cock teased inside her,

158
00:12:57,879 --> 00:13:03,919
stretching her gently, before thrusting, with desperate passion deep inside her.

159
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,440
Another crack of thunder, his moans against her ears. The

160
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,039
heat of his breath, full of longing and desire, pummeled

161
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:20,120
her kneed. Shadows danced over her breasts, grasping them almost

162
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,639
to the point of pain, rolling her already erect nipples

163
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:31,759
into tight peaks, pulling them exciting her further. Pressing back,

164
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,960
she wheeled him deeper to fill her completely. Her hand

165
00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:40,399
finding her own clip, she rubbed it furiously as the

166
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:46,360
shadows grasped her ass cheeks, parting them, a firm sensation

167
00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:53,080
pressing inside her rosette. Their combined moments of pleasure punctuated

168
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,279
by flashes of lightning. As her core clutched desperately along

169
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,399
every inch of his length. Needing the satisfaction only he

170
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,679
could give, she begged please to fill his come insider

171
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:11,840
once again. Her thighs tensed as a spiral of pleasure

172
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,039
spread through her body, willing her to submit to this

173
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:21,480
darkest of desires. The sharpness of his teeth against her neck,

174
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:27,879
firing electricity through a whole body. Thrust after thrust pushed

175
00:14:27,879 --> 00:14:32,639
her hard against the shower wool pounding deep inside her,

176
00:14:32,679 --> 00:14:37,720
pressing her breast roughly against the wet tiles. Powerless to

177
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,159
deny this passion any longer, her orgasm spread through every

178
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:47,159
cell in her body, grasping her sanity and clouding her senses.

179
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,519
Another clap of thunder as they shared their pleasure, the

180
00:14:51,559 --> 00:14:56,679
heat of his satisfaction burning deep inside her, her climax

181
00:14:56,799 --> 00:15:02,919
exploding like a furnace of desire. Her body trembled as

182
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:09,559
shocks of aftaglow invaded her senses, shuddering with pleasure. The

183
00:15:09,639 --> 00:15:17,440
shower hid her tears. Pained by the sudden feeling of emptiness,

184
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:24,759
she realized Finn wasn't there. After the longest moment, Tess

185
00:15:24,919 --> 00:15:28,879
washed her body down, trying to desperately ignore the waves

186
00:15:28,879 --> 00:15:34,960
of sensations assaulting her. Still here, somehow, the rain hissed

187
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:42,960
on the window, reminding her of mine. Sliding out the shower,

188
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,759
tescon slowly dressed. She was in no mood now to

189
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,399
open the coffee for the usual suspects, sheltering from the rain,

190
00:15:53,519 --> 00:15:57,759
Nurturing their drinks like a long lost baby, tried to

191
00:15:57,879 --> 00:16:02,759
make them last for hours. This emptiness Finn had left

192
00:16:02,759 --> 00:16:09,080
her with grasped at her heart once more, reminding her

193
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,720
of all the words that had been left unsaid. But

194
00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:17,559
opened the cafe she did, as she did every morning,

195
00:16:18,559 --> 00:16:22,440
the reindeer of people in through the doors, a shelter

196
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,759
from the impending storm. As full as the cafe was,

197
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,480
trade was actually slow. Twenty five cups of coffee that

198
00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:38,200
lasted until midday. She surveyed this maddening crowd, absorbed in

199
00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:42,720
their own worlds of mindless discussion, sat in this room,

200
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,080
this room as should be owned by Finn, but she

201
00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:52,159
was happy to be left in her private sanctuary. As

202
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:57,919
they talked in their insolent little circles, she gazed out

203
00:16:57,919 --> 00:17:02,039
of the windows at the incoming storm, those dark clouds

204
00:17:02,039 --> 00:17:06,359
that danced across the sea, raged with so much anger,

205
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:12,160
so much passion. Forks of lightning danced a vicious tangle

206
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:17,759
across the sea. Raindrops ouched their messages across the window panes,

207
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:23,640
each one marking the glass as their own, reminding her,

208
00:17:25,519 --> 00:17:30,519
each one slowly drifting down. As she watched the latest

209
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:36,279
raindrop make its way slowly down the glass, looking at it,

210
00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:43,559
through it and beyond the beach. Lost in the hypnotically

211
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,519
slow movement of the water, her eyes tried to make

212
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:53,240
sense of the shoreline veiled in the darkness of the storm.

213
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,359
The beach was gray and dark as a tomb. But

214
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,960
there in the wash of the tide, there was a shape,

215
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:06,440
barely recognizable through the dark and the rain. A formless

216
00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:11,440
shape just lay there, curled up like an abandoned child,

217
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:18,680
rejected by the sea, shrouded in shadows and the wash

218
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:25,680
of the incoming tide. His edges faded with the beach. Briefly,

219
00:18:25,759 --> 00:18:29,359
the clouds parted and the sun lit the shape with

220
00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:34,440
flickers of a raise. A bright torrent sparkled in the rain,

221
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,960
a color taking her back to the jacket the Finn

222
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,799
had worn that morning he left for his last journey.

223
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,240
The shape, the color so familiar, edged on her mind.

224
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,680
Tess was out of the door before the cup she

225
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,759
had been holding hit the floor. Throwing herself at the

226
00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:58,920
steps to the beach, She stumbled several times as she fulled,

227
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,160
the driving rain, stinging her face. He had to be

228
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,440
at their spot as well, that very place they at

229
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:13,039
first consummated their relationship. Hope and anticipation walled in her body.

230
00:19:13,599 --> 00:19:16,599
Test screamed Finn's name as she ran along the beach,

231
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:23,200
her voice rising over the storm. Wanting him to be alive. Please, God,

232
00:19:23,319 --> 00:19:28,039
let him be alive, she prayed repeatedly, no rational thought,

233
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,039
no holding back. She had to get to him, she

234
00:19:32,279 --> 00:19:37,200
had she had to save him. Well, I hope you

235
