Shadow in the Sea

Julie Bassett —

By Nathan Groenewald - Space 5 - Age 6

I was on the beach asleep not knowing that I was floating in the sea and not knowing that I was in danger. I woke up. I looked back and the beach looked like a little dot.

Oh no, what would I do? What could I do?

I tried to paddle my towel back to shore, but it began to sink into the water.

I saw a thin rope with a flashlight but it was not that, indeed! I saw a big shadow behind me. It was an angler fish. I was so far from shore… SWIM!
