A secret from the deep becomes an encounter Eric will never forget
The man they pull aboard is injured. And nude. Floating out in the middle of the sea. Not another boat in sight. Eric does his best to patch him up but communicating is proving difficult.
The man gives his name as Pochuria but doesn't speak English. He seems fascinated by Eric's cabin, asking him to name everything in it. Then he draws Eric's attention to his naked body. He wants some attention and Eric is primed to give it to him.
When Pochuria disappears, Eric is devastated. It is months before he sees him again, but Pochuria has a secret. Will it destroy any connection they have found with each other?
How bizarre an encounter is Eric willing to share with him?
