Genie's Star
Genie passed the rugged stone building of the school. No siree, not today would she be going to class, the books there worn and old, the pages falling apart with one tail flick. Instead, she would head to the library. The smell of pure paper wafted towards her nose. She swam over to one of her favorites, Star Sea. As she flipped to her favorite page, she read, “The stars can be seen at stardusk, for 20 minutes. The stars, oblong shaped and shining, are watched by land dwellers as normality.” The leather cover felt rough against her dark skin; she traced the gold lettering with her finger on th...

Long, dark shapes flung themselves into the sand within my field of shadowy vision. Water rushed up around me again, dragging at the limbs behind me. I blinked, my eyes focusing a little more each second. A whoosh scraped it’s way from my lungs, seared my throat, and retched through my gaping mouth. Seawater poured in a dribble down my chin and caught in my lanky hair. Inch by inch, I dragged my life away from the hungry sea until the wav...
