The dark clouds broiled in the sky. I walked along the gloomy street, with fall coloured leaves blowing at my feet. Today was not my day, everything seemed to have gone wrong. I shivered as a chilled breeze seemed to blow right through me. I checked my watch. Only 1:52 pm. It seemed like it was night time with how dark the sky was. I passed by an even darker alleyway, not bothering to look down it. There was most likely monsters down there, just like in every alley in this god forsaken town.
I walked safely downtown, past the old restaurant, down to the small pond in which my "home" was. At least that is the human term for the equivalent of my shelter. I slipped into the water, my gills showing up as soon as the greenish water made contact with my now greying skin. Now fully submerged, I swam deeper into the murky water. The water filtered through my gills was made breathable as I swam down, deep into the depths of the pond. Colourful fish flitted past, making little sparkling rainbows in this abyss..
