Blue (COMPLETED)

Blue

I swam through the dull ocean. The life had been drained and the sea of colour was now a sea of horror. I saw the animals, my family, all get trapped in the hellish cages of plastic, and they were tortured to death. They couldn't get it off, they were trapped in the horrifying prisons while they suffocated. 

A manta ray and a human swam nearby, the human was trying to clean up what her kind had done. But it was too late. The ray got caught in a plastic bag and it had already been strangled by the time the human had swam over. She swam back to the nearby boat and emptied her net, crying and ridden with guilt. Because it was their fault. Humans.

I felt so lonely, and I couldn't help but dream of things changing to how they used to be.

Beautiful blue/green oceans, coral reeves in in all colours of the rainbow, sea life living happily and peacefully in what seemed like a perfect world. Until the plastic started to rapidly fill our world, and killed off the beautiful species and life. The coral was bleached an ugly off-white from polluted water and food was nearly impossible for sea life to find.

This place was turned ugly by selfish people. And things would never be the same. I continued to swim and look for company. I just want someone to love......someone to be by my side.

But they are gone, they were killed by plastic, fishing nets, pollution. And now I am left to survive alone in the sad, grey ocean. My heart is constantly aching with the dull weight of loneliness. Why did this have to happen? Why was my life destroyed? What was the purpose of all this?

I swim quicker, jumping up from the water and I see the world above my own. The sun shines and the people look happy. But the nature is gone and replaced by the buildings, pollution, litter. They are happy to live like this, they are happy to obliterate the sea, and all for a plastic bag, a straw, drinks packages, or fishing. Where did the love go?

I remember swimming with my family, we leaped and danced through the water, stitching through the waves like thread. But the humans came and unraveled the perfect stitches, leaving holes in what was a beautiful blue silk- the ocean. And so the beautiful bundles of colour turned to dull rags, the vivid colour faded and the holes were ripped, tearing apart what was a beautiful life. 

What could've today been? How happy could I be if not of this would've happened? I am slowly fading away...there isn't many of us left, and the last are stuck in the ruins, the waste of the world above. The price for their cruelty was us. 

I swam, until I felt the fishing net tangle around me. I struggled, the pain was torturous, and I was hopeless. It was all over for me.  Humans did this. You...
