Suddenly the humorous expression on her face changed, but he couldn’t figure out what she was thinking. It bugged him that he wasn’t able to remember anything from his childhood here in Australia, but it annoyed him even more to see the disbelief in these two. The next few weeks were going to be a steep learning curve about his past. She stared at him for a long moment. Although he wasn’t coy when it came to women, it made him uncomfortable, and he turned to look out across the ocean again. There was a big container ship on the horizon, moving along at snail’s pace. It was barely visible in the distance, despite being near the coast. Closing his eyes, he compared himself to a ship in the ocean, so close to everyone, yet out of everyone’s reach as he once again wondered what had happened. Or why he was here, at the other end of the world, twenty-four flight hours away, about nine time zones ahead of his family back in England.
His father’s and Emily’s voices were distant as Connor tried his hardest to remember anything about this place. Remember somebody called Ethan or Niall. But he came up with nothing. Zilch.
Not even the mention of a kiss triggered any memories.

oooooh! I love a mystery and you’ve set up the beginnings of a good one! I’m full of questions.
Aww, thank you so much Nancy. Glad you’re liking it so far.
Poor guy. He’s really forgotten a lot, it seems. Love him thinking of himself as the cargo ship. Very good!
Thank you, Karen. Much appreciated.
It must be awful to have that blank in his memories. But what family did he leave in England?
Thanks Aurora. Well there’s the mother of course and others.
I’m very intrigued as to why he can’t remember anything! And I loved the analogy with the container ship. Great snippet!
Thank you, Veronica. Glad you liked it. As in regard to his memory, you’ll find out more soon.
I like how he compares himself to a ship. Nicely done! 🙂
No post for me this week. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Teresa. Happy you enjoyed the read this week. I look forward to reading another snippet of yours next week 🙂
The container ship analogy is excellent. It sums up how many people feel about their lives. I’m really wondering why he can’t remember anything. Good way to hook the reader in. Tweeted.
Thank you Jenna – on both accounts.
Oh he sounds so lost and mystified – great excerpt!
Thank you Adriana. So pleased you liked it
