Narrator's POV

After a Crocodile show at the Crocoseum...

As the gates to the Crocoseum closed and all the employees finished up their cleaning for the day and left, one young teenager with blonde hair and blue eyes sat at the edge of the waters of the false water body with tears threatening to fall from his eyes.

"Why..."

He said softly with much dryness in his voice...

"Why did this have to happen to me, after all I've done to help, I'm still falling apart..."

 He couldn't help feeling all of these things, much has gone through his life currently and he has done his best to keep calm and cool, but now, he is loosing his control over himself...

"I have NOTHING to live for anymore, my life is a mess, I can't remember my dad because I was just a kid when he passed away, I can't take the loss of Bruce the Brolga after he passed away, he was the one who kept me going until now, when I was with him, I felt like dad was right there beside him, I didn't know I'd miss Harriet so much until I realized that she was a literal grand mother to me, and now after Stella, my little pug died, I think that...that...that I'M DONE WITH THIS LIFE!"

He finally whisper-shouted after tones of whispering to himself, but it just wasn't working.

"I just wish that someone was here to comfort me, but I know that..." he softly spoke between deep, shallow breaths "There never will be..."

He finally let a few brave tears slip from his eyes. Emotions are like waves, when you keep calm all will be alright, but when you fuss over them they will come trashing down on you like tonnes of steel, and right now for him, he was drowning in them.

Just as miraculously as it seems, his prayers for that little wish were answered on instant...

"Hey, are you alright?"

?'s POV

Me and my mom were at Australia Zoo, it was the best place ever. All thanks to The Irwin Family, I doubt this place would look as good as it is without them right now. The animals here were to die for, I was able to pay for all the Encounters and donate to the Zoo for the purpose of Wildlife conservation. If hugging a Zoo Koala is saving a wild one, I'd hug a million!

We were at The Crocoseum and it was the part of the Saltwater Crocodiles to come out, I don't know why but my eyes were more focused on Robert than the crocodiles themselves, as if I need to make it clear that I already knew a good wealth of knowledge about crocodiles and their behavior with my time in Africa. I draw a lot, so wherever there are animals, there my sketchbook and pencil go. I already drew all of the residents of the Zoo and all that was left were the Crocs. I couldn't concentrate on them because of Robert as every time I heard his voice I looked up and I drew a wrong line. In the end they were decent but I knew I could improve on them when I get back home later, eh, more like a hotel but same difference I guess. Towards the end of the show I somehow fell asleep on a bunch of empty eats beside me with Robert on my mind...

(1 hour later...)

I woke up with a big "yawn" and a little bit false chewing of my mouth. I looked around and saw no one, I was unfazed by this until 10 seconds later where my eyes shot up and I stood up straighter than a Meerkat on High Alert. I looked up at the Sun and saw that it was around an hour later than when I dozed off! I'm really gonna have to educate my mother about taking care of "important things"when I find her again.

Before I went to find staff member to ask for some guidance I heard a...

"sniffle"...

I know it is quite right now but I didn't think it would be that quiet that I could hear a sniffle from far away.
