San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, 10 November 2025.

I am contemplating the Pacific Ocean, golden sunlight shimmering on the surface.

Colorful small fishing boats, gently carried by the soft waves.

San Christobal's statue is looking out over this beautiful bay.

My mind is going backwards.

Spirit whispering 'a perfect place to die'.

Same spirit with whom I traded lives 11 years ago – 'your life against this horse's life'.

I accepted.
