Striving For A Peaceful Life

A simple, uncomplicated life is what many of us strive for. The average person would like to keep their personal life private without the interference of bigger powers like the government or the US Navy. But some people aren’t always that lucky.

This story is about Darko Bigava, who had planned to go fishing so that he could sell his catch. He never thought he would have to worry about military affairs or politics, but one day changed all that. He had no idea how much his life would change.

Darko Bigava lived on the southern coast of Croatia on the Elaphiti Islands and worked as a fisherman. His grandfather had taught his father to fish, so it made sense for him to follow in their footsteps. He had been in love with fishing since he was young.

He would never have thought this his future self would encounter the world’s most significant political and military powers.

A Simple Life

Bigava was so in love with fishing that he couldn’t envision doing anything else. He was happy with his simple life, spending every day readying his nets and boats. He would spend his time in Elaphiti’s surrounding waters catching fish to sell.

He woke up every morning prepared to do the same thing every day. He had spent years following the same routine and never thought that something would come along to change it.

Regular Customers

His job was simple – wait for the nets to be filled with fish and return home with them. He had spent years building up his clientele, so he had a few regular customers.

They bought from him to supply for their stores or restaurants, but Bigava never thought he would have to deal with the heads of the US Navy one day. But he would be surprised when it happened.

Financial Struggles

Bigava’s finances weren’t in the best shape at the time of the incident. Tourists and visitors had stopped visiting the Elaphiti Islands when the pandemic hit. The restaurants were drastically impacted by this, which meant they didn’t buy much from Bigava anymore.

His regulars wouldn’t bring him enough income, so he had to find new customers to sell the same amount of fish he was used to selling. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t be able to make the month’s expenses.
