Before I begin, I just want to acknowledge that I'm not the best writer. This assignment is most likely filled with inaccurate phrasing so I apologize. Constructive criticism would be of tremendous help so that I can learn and improve!
Enjoy! :)

As a big, bright light emerged from the moon, a well-lit city appeared. Beyond the surface of the cold, dark waves was a hidden kingdom deep within the unfathomable ocean. There, one could find a community of plants and animals, varying from colorful fish to coral reefs that would radiate like the sun on a hot, summer day. Throughout the day, the vigorous currents of the ocean would pull on the helpless, green seaweed as some famished, green sea turtles munched on them. Just a few feet away, in the tentacles of a smooth, purple, sea anemone, was a clown fish, hidden from the predators lurking above. While those events took place in the deep, sapphire ocean, the glistening surface of the sea released a series of cries from the rippling waters, to which they echoed throughout the vast, still opening of darkness that didn't seem to end. The clouds slowly revealed an isolated seagull that was gliding through the gentle whispers of the wind. Suddenly, it dove into the murky waters and caught a large fish with a swift, yet loud, splash. After having landed on a beach, the seagull ripped small, sizable pieces of salty, savory meat off of the unfortunate fish and swallowed it, leaving just enough to feed another. The next day, the decaying fish reeked of a foul odor after having been feasted on multiple times. Its smell had eradicated any chance of a fresh breeze that was just within reach. Eventually, it decomposed and gave life to something new. This continuous cycle became known to mankind as the circle of life.
