Child of the Sea - Chapter 32 - Sunlight
I could almost feel the raging heart in the palm of my hand. I held William with a tight grip within my left pocket, securing him from the situation. I pleaded for it not to show through the fabric if he moved. He had been pushing at my fingers at first, but it seemed as if the harsh voice of the stranger had tenced him up.
It was far enough for him to stay still. Surely I did not offer him mush of an option, but I would not have demanded more. That was all I needed right now from his side, but I could feel him tremble in there. He was terrified. It was a strange sensation, and a reminder of what life was from his perspective. Though, I hadn

“I´m just saying that when he´s that size, you could just put him in a jar or something and hand him over. Not like he could put up any resistance. I mean, look at him.” Rob continued with a rather careless shrug to his shoulders. He did not want to leave the thought it seemed. He turned eventually and started down at William with a disgusted expression painted across his face. He really did not like him. But on the other hand, I couldn't have believed that William was especially fond of him either, and I couldn't blame neither of them for it.
“You know… It have bugged me since the day you got here... Since

Tides bring strange things to the shore - Ch 3
The ice had yet to melt at the shoreline when the day came. The day when I looked into those icing wild eyes of his and felt how I was observing another person. Not a single bit of my mind told me that it was wrong. That he was not human like me, I know this today as much as I knew at the time. But for me, I thought that he at least could become one. Like raising my own little brother and teach him to behave accordingly, I brought my books home and tried to teach him like the teacher tried to teach us at school.
Truth been told, I did not care that he was half fish. He was more like a secret friend of mine, which I kept hidden away during th
I cannot explain what went through my head at that instant, but I think my mind got back to reality once I felt the taste of metal sipping from my teeth. Paining my chin and nose in a familiar red.
As if I had not seen anything up till now of what I had happened, nor had any power over my own movements, It was now clear that my actions had gotten ahead of myself.
I was growing more and more aware of my surroundings and felt how not only my mouth was filled with warmth, but my whole core. Heaving with minimal access to fresh air I had through my nose, my pulse started to increase. Causing my wound at the back to sting even worse than before.

Tides brings strange things to the shore
My grandmother had just passed away that morning, leaving me and my dad as the only ones left of our family. Mum and everything she ment had left while I was still a kid, and no siblings were there for my support. It was just me, and my dad. A middle aged fisher, with a sooned out son. Good for nothing.
To be honest, it might be because of my age, not my effort, that I could do very little to help him provide us. I was only seven at the time. Just a kid who did not want to enter school.
I just wanted to sit at the beach and look at the boats out there. Picturing myself on one of them. Going somewhere no one had ever gone before. I had an ad

I flung my hand through the air, aiming to slap him at the chin from where I was balancing at his neck. But just as my hand was about to make contact with the rough, stubbly skin, everything within my vision, every part of him that I was holding onto, seemed to explode into a sea of familiar looking specs.
Not giving rise to a single sound, I was surrounded within the millionth of a second.
It was beautiful. More mesmerizing than anything I had ever laid eyes on.
I gasped, reaching out to seek stability, but fell to the ground where William had just been sleeping. Everywhere around me, those specs filled my vision, making the fall seem to
