Message in a bottle

When someone on some crowded island gets frustrated with the boredom of being alone and decides to reach the known world, that someone puts a message in a bottle and floats it across the sea. Many hopes, expectations, dreams... are attached to it.

What can happen to the message? Fate of the message is neither decided by the sender nor by the intended receiver once it is out in the ocean. Many things may happen with that message. It may never reach the destination just because it got thrashed. If it gets thrashed right in front of the eyes, then one can try again, but what if sender never knew that the message got perished? It may also happen that the message is received by a wrong person. Or it may reach the intended receiver but the perception of it is not in favor of the sender or receiver. May be it reaches the shore with no one to pick it up. It is also possible that bottle just keeps on drifting an endless voyage. Or it may just return to sender. May be by the time it reaches the shore, receiver is lost.

Someone waits at the shore in hope of a reply. How long can one wait? Wait may frustrate someone to an extend when hopes are all washed away and wait is given up, or someone enters the water to reach out the place the message was destined.

I am waiting at the shore in hope of a reply.. I wish this wait never ends.
