The Places to Flee 

He wanted to shoot himself, but he lacked the courage to do so. When the young factory worker learned that his girlfriend was pregnant, he came up with a murderous plan. Being a father was out of the question, the creature, and its unborn child both had to go. But was it all a fantasy? He was not sure anymore. He had been on the run for a long time and alone on a sailing boat. Him, the sea, and the islands, on a journey into the unknown. Would he ever be caught? Where would the journey lead him and when would it end? He just knew he had to go south bound and keep going.
