"Sea"The saltwater hits my face and I smile for the first time in so long.
I don't smile because it tastes good. It stings, and I feel something, and I react.
My father says that I shall grow tall and brown in Australia, but I want to be an explorer. I think my mother used to read to me; those stories made me wish for great adventures like Robinson Crusoe. I will find myself a Friday and explore.
Mum tried to be gruff, to make Friday frightening.
But I wanted to know all about him. I hoped to meet him.
