The man who had lost his hat on the boat. He had always been a supremely happy man.
The worst things could happen. He would take them in stride. Saw the positive side to anything.
It was a wet, chilly afternoon. Jittery from half a coffee too much. Nursing a now. Hoping it would calm him.
The wind seemed to come out of nowhere. There was a chronic chill. But such a swift gust was unexpected.
Before he could act the hat was in the air.
Something inside him broke that day. For the rest of his life, he was no longer a happy man.
