The Seagull

“I lead a great life. I go where I want, fly whenever I want, practice my favorite new sport kitesurfing, make friends with of cool locals and enjoy the best life can offer.

It wasn’t always this way. I was born in Taiwan, and lived all my life in St Vincent and the Grenadines. My daily life was sitting in a kitchen next to some stuffed animals, being kicked around by my owner Devon or watching him draw. He is a very talented boy.

Until one day when things changed.”

This a ball talking. The ball that is the most prized possession of a 10-year-old boy from the Island of St. Vincent in the Grenadines.

When Devon paints a seagull on it the ball mysteriously comes to life starts talking and escapes on a wild journey across the country.

The ball has a great journey discovering its surroundings and realizing the pleasures of freedom.

“Nothing, absolutely nothing beats the feeling of flying in and out of the water chasing after sailboats. This is so fantastic! I am so totally free I’m going out of my mind with excitement! I feel I’m in a Hollywood movie. I’m a master of the water universe!”

Devon, desperately looks for the ball, chasing it across the country. The ball, finally lonely finds its way home. In the process both Devon and the ball realize the true meaning of friendship.
