I lay lethargicly on the soft, golden sand. The beautiful sea waves were crashing against my toes. The day was perfect. Well, that was what I thought. Everything was going exactly how I planned it: a great, relaxing day with nothing but bliss. However, I did not know anything about the beach or who would be on it with me...

That was when it all went wrong. The waves grew angrier and angrier and started to toss and turn like a baby having a tantrum. All the seagulls were scared and flew away. I was alone with a monsterous sea. Eventually, I decided to leave. The waves were ferocious,  the sky was full of clouds and it was getting dark. I picked up my stuff and turned around ready to go. Then I saw it. It was standing right in front of me blocking my way. I screamed "help." No one came to my rescue. The black figure walked closer and closer towards me. I ran. Standing at the edge of the peir, the thing pushed me. Quick to react I grasped hold of the edge of thw ooden board.  However, the thing was not going to give up yet. It waved its magical hand and the waves below me grew. Unbelievably they opened into a whirling hole as wide as a mouth. The sea reached out and swallowed me.

I drifted through the underwater world with the last few bits of oxygen in my lungs. Then I felt it. A boney hand on my shoulder. It squezzed me untill I screamed and let all my air out. That was the end.
