To The Shore

Joe was assisting people on a marina to get free rides on the “mercy ships” before the next Hurricane hits the island, Hurricane Maria; a category 5 storm. She met him when he boarding a ship that was heading to Puerto Rico when he offered her humorously to join him. “What if you come along?” he asked, to which Hannah replied that it wasn’t a good idea to leave with him. Now Joe wishes if he would have convinced her to get on the ship, she would have been among her loved ones today.
