I took a fishing trip with my buddy last week. we were sailing out on the water for around an hour or so, when they called my name.
"hey, you've gotta come see this!" they shouted from across the deck.
I hurried over, expecting them to be holding a huge fish in their arms, but instead found them hunched over the side of the deck.
I thought they were seasick for a second, but they saw me and quickly waved me over.
"Come on!"
"Alright, alright, what are you so excited about!?"
"This!" they pulled me over to face what they were seeing.
stretched all the way across the bottom of the ocean, was a giant coral reef. it was as bright as could be, fish swimming, seaweed swaying in the water.
"what the-"
"I know right! I thought they all died out ages ago!"
"I guess they're coming back, I mean, the water has been getting less, y'know, dirty..."
"Yeah, isn't it amazing!"
I took a few steps back in disbelief. they stayed glued to the side of the boat, awestruck by their new discovery.
"Maybe things really are getting better..." I whispered.
