The Whisper Of The Sea

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

The next day was my favorite day of the week , actually , children all around the world adore this amazing day. A day of freedom and fun , a day of relaxation and peace of mind . A truly glorious day , called Saturday . I had finished my homework yesterday when i came home . So with no work in the way , i decided to go to the beach , and maybe try to figure out what i saw last night .

I walked down the white marble stairs trying not to be too noisy . My mom must still be fast asleep and i did not want to wake her .

After leaving the house i made my way to the golden sand being washed ever so delicately by the waves of the sea .

I decided to take a walk next to the water , if any dolphins show up , i want to be close .

I felt cold water being splashed on my back , some kids playing with water guns accidentally shot at me .

But i didn't mind , i'm at the beach , i'm supposed to get wet .

After an hour of walking , i felt tired , i wanted to find an empty long chair with an umbrella to rest , but for some reason i felt compelled to keep walking. It was like a gravitational pull . I kept walking and walking and even as the sun started setting and i was weary, i still walked . But i couldn't stop , even when i thought about it , my body disobeyed .

Some people believe in Aliens . Well these aliens wear really bright earrings ! How do i know this ? Because as the sun was pulling her last ray after her , you could actually see small bright dots in the sky . We call them stars . And they were beautiful .

But even the sheer beauty of these stars couldn't make me feel any better . I had been walking the entire day without any knowledge of why i was doing this or where i was heading .

I was hungry , exhausted and afraid , mentally and physically drained .

My eyelids were getting heavier and heavier as if the sandman sat on them and would not get up until they're closed . But i couldn't sleep , i had to keep walking .

I looked at my wrist watch . Yup . It was midnight and i was tearing up . I want to stop ! I really want to but i can't ! And yet, i couldn't bring myself to get too worked up. There was something calming about the sea.

Suddenly , i saw something shine under the water . My legs ran towards it without my consent , pushing my body under , swimming to get the mysterious object . It was hidden in the sand. I brushed the grains off and looked at it amazed . My mouth shot open but i closed it right away as i tasted the salty water i was under . It was a seashell , but not like any other i had ever seen . It was blue and shiny and simply breath taking .

I put it in my pocket and tried to swim back up to the surface . But it seemed that once i got the object , that mysterious power that kept my body going on gave up on me , and i was way too exhausted to be able to swim. I think i'm going to drown.
