UNDERWATER

by FLOR

I looked out the window.
It wasn’t bright.
There was no
light.

A while later there I saw
a button that said “lights.”
I pressed it. I wasn’t
prepared.

There were so many sea creatures.
Blue and very bright. Even though
I was alone in a submarine I didn’t
complain.

Just the fact that I’m a 12 year
old boy in a submarine without
a mother, no father, nothing,
but fish.

A while later this creature appeared.
It was long and dark and it gave me
fear. But then I noticed it seemed familiar.

The last time it came I named it Kane.
