“It’s pure cold” I think as I pass the huge crack around the hull.
I look through the window and I see the plates still on the tables, and the cloths wanting to float up but can’t because the silverware is holding them down. I leave the window, and I go into the bedroom and see all the drawers are trashed. The blankets are on the ceiling and the pillows are at the top as if the bed was made on the ceiling. It’s amazing to see the bed like that, floating about one inch off the ground, looking like a phantom. I look away from the swaying blankets out into the darkness. There is nothing to see, just the red glowing algae. I swam down to the algae. After I eat some, I feel my body growing massive. In my two weeks I have been living here, I have met a lot of minnows. None of them would see me because I am small. I think to myself, now they will be friendly because I am huge. I have a friend named Pete, and he is a minnow. There is a disease in his tail, and it’s rotting off. I tell Pete to swim down and eat some because it will help him, but he is too weak to swim. If he doesn’t eat it, he will die! Pete can’t eat it, so I have another idea. There is a Japanese sunken nuclear power plant, and I bet if Pete eats some radiation then he’ll be better.
Pete is about to die, he is passing out and I am freaking out! We swim over to the power plant it is deep now and I tell him that it is up to him now because I can’t swim deep. He barely makes it down, but after eating some he is better. His spine is fixed but he will never be the same. We were best friends after that. We found two coral nests next to each other. We stayed best friends forever until...
