R&R

The day was dim, and depressing, life here in the ocean seemed endless, nothing extraordinary ever happened, life here was a dull, painful reminder of how life was so unfair.

Here sat, Eugene H Krabs, the proud owner of one of the oceans best places, the Rusty Krab, oh yes, a retirement home was the life of the party, until eventually everyone you've ever known died of old age.

Here sat, on a dried out mattress, Eugene Harold Krabs, and just behind him, in her old bed sheets, slept his lovely wife, Tiffany, whom he'd been married to for well over five years, he'd met her just after the war, working on the streets as a beggar of some sort that shouldn't be mentioned in a kids cartoon.

Tiffany, her beauty was as beautiful as your average hooker, the best you could find crawling on the painted ally ways. A few months after dating, she'd asked him to marry her, knowing he'd never ask, that was a suckers way into it, but when shed asked, he thought that being labeled under, married, would give him a good name, other than crabby daddy.

It was 7:46 in the morning, waking up a little earlier than usual, on account of a horrific nightmare about his days in the Navy, seeing his Navy buddy, Gus, blown to bits with the rest of the squad, he'd warned the squad leader of a bad feeling after a passing jet, but Danny had said he was making it up, he hadn't slept in three weeks and his mind was playing tricks on him. In the end, after an ambush, everyone was dead, except for the three that'd he'd dragged out, four if you count Gus, he was in shreds, died in his arms that night.

It has appeared that the leader, Danny, had lead them to their deaths, had been on the other side for some time, signed up for a suicide mission to take out the enemy.

Unable to go back to sleep, Eugene stood up, throwing on his clothes, a nice quite walk would take his mind off things. A normal day for him, or well, actually, no, this day, was just beginning, he didn't know it yet, but his life was about to change, forever.

8:25, it's been nearly a whole hour since he'd started his walk, hed made it half way out of the city, finding it most relaxing beyond the city limits. That was until a boat sped across the surface of the ocean, bringing back horrible memories of his time in the Navy, of the bombings, and shipwrecks the land creatures above, humans, brought down on the aquatic creatures.

Eugene ran behind a tall rock, hiding from the humans, it was until he recognized the shape of the boat, it was no battle ship, but fishermen, even worse. All he wanted to do was stay put, but something kept calling out to him.

He listened close, gasping apon hearing the cries of a baby, he sat back, thinking that the mother, or father would calm the pour thing down, mustve been spooked by the ship.

The cries went on for a while, getting even louder, dread shot up his spine, he couldn't just ignore it, but what if it were a trick to lure him into a crab trap, he may be a pour, depressed man with no reason to live, but he was not about to let himself be served with a side of melted butter.

He peeked out from behind a tall coral tree, gasping at the horrible sight, this reminded him of his days in the Navy, a large whale laid, harpooned, and roped up, she may have won against the fishermen, but it did no use.

The cries came from the dead whale, he slowly approached it, gasping as he seen a new born calf, with blood of the parent all over his skin, "m, mama." He cried, but the whale didn't respond, Krabs awed as he bent down to pick the baby up.

As he was picking the baby up, he jumped when the whale groaned, opening one eye, "m, my wife_" he panted, it was the father of the child, the mother must have died, protecting her family, "she's gone-" he cried, turning to the little thing beside him, "o, our daughter, please sir, y, you have to take her," the man said as he spit out blood, "I, I won't make it, you, have to promise me, take good care- of" the whale fell asleep before he could even finish his sentence.

Eugene picked the child up, looking down at her, she was a pretty little thing with bright blond curly hair, she yawned in his arms, he dried her ears and blood from her face, "Wh, what's her name?" he asked the whale, but got no answer, he looked down at the baby, feeling pity, "I'm so sorry little girl, what a shame, oh, but dontcha worry me angel, I'll protect ya." he said as he pet her cheek, getting her to close her eyes.

To Be Continued…

I know, it's a short first chapter, but who cares. I guess this would be something like Childhood just with another character, I know, Why The Krabs Family? Because, I can.
