Seth kicked a rock along the sandy beach. There was no one really there, due to the weather report calling for rain all through out the day. It was definitely cloudy, and the air smelled like rain. Seth didn't care, though, he couldn't stand being in his house. He hated how perfect everything was. He hated how his little sister got away with everything. His parents weren't bad people, they just didn't see things clearly. Things were boring at home, and he wanted something different, something adventurous, something life changing to happen.
His toes softly curled into the sand with each step, and he enjoyed the feeling. The cool ocean water washing over his feet and splashing against his ankles, which sent goosebumps up his legs. Seth ignored the coldness of the water, and continued to walk until he was knee deep in water.
He stood there, watching the clouds roll in, and soon he felt light pelts of rain hit his body. He spread his arms out, stretching, and tilted his head back, holding his breath. A few raindrops landing across his face, and Seth smiled for a moment before bringing his arms down again, and returning his gaze to the vast ocean, he exhaled. His face distorted, what was that? Something just touched him! He was too afraid to move, and stood motionless for a few seconds, maybe even minutes. The hairs of the back of his neck stood on edge, and he waited.
Again, Seth felt something soft and scaly brush against his leg, and he dared himself to look down. When he did, he couldn't see anything, due to the fact the water was murky because of the cloud coverage. Thoughts of what could be lurking just below the surface, in a different world, a shark, possible, could tear him to bits before he could reach the shore. Seth's heart pounded against his chest, heaving in delighted fear, and it wasn't until the third touch, he really started to panic. But the water was shallow enough, he couldn't see a fin.
Seth slowly turned around, careful not to splash around too much. He squeezed his eyes shut, and took a step, and in that moment everything changed. He felt, what felt like, a hand grab him, and pull him down into the water. His eyes opened wide in fear, and the pure need to see his surroundings. He saw a body, he saw hands, eyes, beautiful eyes, long black hair, he saw a long fin. He blinked his eyes looking around, but whatever it was, it was gone.
Seth shot to the surface, gasping for breath and jogged his way to the shore, collapsing on the sand. His body was covered in water and sand, and his chest heaved, as he tried to comprehend what the hell he just saw.
The rain was coming down in a steady drizzle, and Seth stood on his shaky legs, and ran until he got home, a mile or so away from the ocean.
Been playing with this idea for a while, and I thought well, I'll just sit and let my fingers play with the keyboard and see what we get. Here it is, hope you all liked it. Let me know what you think please!
