I was in an ocean where I could swim and breathe without a care. In that ocean we were all swiming peacefully. Sharks, whales and other creatures that can eat us didnʼt bother me. Dying like this would be a bliss. My family and I were swimming swiftly between others.
Then I woke up.
The water was not that beautiful clean blue it was in my dream. It was dirty and there were strange things floating around us. Creatures that tried to eat them died. Just like my family.
A plastic bag was also one of the weird objects. A turtle tried to eat it, but now itʼs dead, too. Silly turtle. Everyone knows manmade things are dangerous.
In another part of the ocean there were black drops floating slowly towards the depths. It seemed like rain, but rain becomes one with the water. So, what is this? I approached the black mass, tried to smell it, but as soon as I did I started choking. I tried to breathe, but even more of it came in. I tried to swim away, but it was too late.
I thought those creatures were silly, but look at me now. Silly me.
People think weʼre free in the ocean, but no matter how free and beautiful we are, we still live in a prison of pollution.
