We live at the beach. The waves dance at our entrance but not the people. I’m alone, today was the worst, the people laughed. It’s new now that we’re poor. The rich laugh while we cry, only fish and ocean for us now. I tried to eat sand today and almost drunk dog pee. They can break the rules but not us. People say we’re dirty disgusting dogs, do run, do.
The ocean is our mother, me and my sisters take care of her, she takes care of us and swallows anyone who threatens us. My sister caught lots of fish, but the lord of the sea came, the great white! Now our parent got scared, so just in time managed to conjure a little wave to save.
We eat bugs, bugs, bugs. I tried eating sand again (never should). We almost went back, but until the king of the ocean leaves the sea, the ocean has a strong current, too strong for even us. The only good thing about hunger is the company.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! It’s so close to me, it leaped across the clouds with hungry eyes. The great shark attack. I run, just run, my heart is pounding. I’m alive but the effort was far too great. As I look down from my head, blood, a river of it. I count my fingers, now I have five. I’m lucky. I look as if I’m a monster, the powerful almighty shark fled in a second. Am I a monster?
The air is thick with layers of ice. The fearful fish has made its grand entrance once again. A kindhearted man stepped up and handed us some money, my eyes search. No, sweet, sweet, fake. The man burst into a sea of laughter it sent me into tears.
Now we’re done. The tides are coming with an army so big it could eat the whole city alive. Once our mother now our enemy. Our only hope now is two lots of wood, three plastic bags and a mountain of plastic bottles. Time to build a boat! My oldest sister volunteers, but they are too important to lose. I pushed her out of the way. I go slowly into a speed, I drag myself to the edge of the boat. Shark food. I whisper my last word “Love you” Splash!
“Awake, Awake!” Two days were stolen from my risk. Splat right in the face. “Ha, ha, ha!”
We know how to handle mum now and rich people are just silly. Nothing can fool us we’re master minds of the sea! But one impossible way. Could it happen???
