Sigmund had a terrible family. He always kinda knew, but now he knew for sure. The family he grew up in had just kicked him out. His own family! Why would they do that? Well, Sigmund was a sea monster. That meant his family were sea monsters. They scared people. Sigmund didn't. He couldn't! He tried, but he just couldn't. That was why they kicked him out.

For the first time in his life, he was out on his own. Usually, the beach was full of life, but now it was as silent as a wasteland. The only sound he heard was a TV murmuring in the distance.

He hoped that if he went into town someone would just pretend to be scared of him. Then all of his problems would be solved! But who would want to be afraid of a worthless sea monster? If that idea couldn't work, that meant that he would have to sleep on the cold, hard ground. Great. Just great. Sigmund could just see himself getting Pneumonia.

"Maybe I could just go into town and sleep in a human cave!" said Sigmund.

He knew that idea wouldn't work either. It was just wishful thinking. There was nowhere he could go where he'd be safe that wasn't cold and damp. He lied down.

"Maybe, tomorrow," He said. "I will finally scare someone!"
