It's not the end ... or maybe it is

2

We got home and got out of the car, and entering the garden I nearly bump into the still closed gate.

- Come on Lucas, be more careful, you don't want to go to the hospital right now that we're on vacation - my father tells me, with a tone of irony, well what is there to say about my father, boh, there isn't  I have nothing to say, except that he is a man who speaks very little compared to my mother, and above all when he speaks to us he does not always scream, another characteristic opposite to that of mother, who as you know always speaks to us as if we were deaf.

- How stupid you are!  - My sister chuckles passing in front of me

- Maybe I was overweight don't you think?  Maybe unlike you I run the brain and think, and it just so happens that at the moment I was just thinking!  - I reply arrogantly

- What you think is strange to me you know, however I will try to believe you, and let's hear what you were thinking?  What will you wear tonight to go out for dinner?  Or how many girls are you gonna lemon tomorrow?  Or even ... -

- Stop it now!  - I scream at him - You are unbearable when you do this, do you want to know what I really think?  Do you want to know? ... - I tell her very loudly

- Yes, I really want to know!  - she yells at me - Let's hear, I'm curious - she continues, but this time with a smile and in a very calm way.  I hate her when she does this, she only does it to tease me and provoke me, and I always let go on time, I pretend nothing and I leave, also because when I get pissed I say things that 99% I don't think, but this time it really exaggerated  , and I don't want to go over it.

- Can you tell me or not?  I don't have the whole evening - she continues a little pissed

- Guys, that's enough, there is no need to do all these plays ... - my mom doesn't even finish the sentence that I explode suddenly

- No mom, this time I won't stop, do you want to know what I was thinking about?  Well now and I'll tell him

- Lucas, that's enough!  - my mom is pissed off, I'm pissed off, my sister is pissed off, everyone is pissed off ... except my dad who came into the house and while we kept screaming he mumbled something about taking a shower

- Mom just let me say this to my sister and then we'll stop - I say it in a calmer tone

- No stop ... - for the second time my mom doesn't finish the sentence, but this time not because of me but because of my sister

- Okay, I understand that you won't tell me anything, now if you don't mind I'll leave - she says irritably

This was the drop that made the vase overflow, I turn to her and 10 centimeters from her face I scream her throat:

- Do you know what I was thinking?  I was thinking about how to drown you tomorrow in the sea, as long as you get there tomorrow and I won't hurt you first!  - only after I have said it do I realize how bad I have been.

She practically petrified in front of me, does not blink an eyelid, does not retort as she always does, does absolutely nothing, remains only there looking at me impaled, while in her huge blue eyes the first tears begin to form

- Come on but stop, they are things that are said between brothers, I don't really think so - and I caress her curly hair, trying to play down the situation, but evidently no use, since she takes my hand away and runs away into the house in tears

My mom looks at me with contempt, she had never looked at me like this before, and I realize that I was really an asshole, after all Michelle is always so smart but she is only 10 years old

- Mom I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, I'll make up for it, starting with asking for an apology - I tell her

- To offer your apologies seems to me the least you know - as he passes in front of me he gives me a good slap, well given, and I feel my whole throat throbbing, and as if that were not enough before returning to the house he turns around and in a firm voice  - And you stay home tonight -, I decide not to reply, it would not seem the case, but even from my eyes warm tears begin to fall and I stand there looking at the emptiness ...

- I'm sorry son, I tried in every way to make your mother change her mind, but you know how it is, when she decides something is law - my dad says affectionately and messes my hair.

I go back home and start looking for something to eat in the fridge, I find tomatoes and ham, so I decide to make myself a sandwich.

I turn on the television and find the Rocky 1 movie, it's almost finished but I like it a lot and decide to leave it anyway, at least for a few minutes I will avoid thinking about what happened with my sister and the disappearance of that mysterious ship, which I  it still haunts the soul, above all because it seems that only I have seen it.

After the sandwich I decide to go out on the terrace a bit, I like to be out here, being that this house is on a promontory from the terrace you can see the sea, but immediately after my light-heartedness it fades ... I see in the distance in the sea a  huge fin come out, I try to calm down, it can simply be the fin of a shark a little bigger than there are usually near the islands, but if you think about it better it must be a good bit big if I can notice it from this distance  .  Immediately after this thought, my veins freeze in the blood, and if it were an unknown creature?  If it were a new shark not yet known?  Or what if it was a shark that had already lived in the past?  And it is precisely after the last question that I asked myself that a light bulb came on, and if it was a Megalodon?

No, it can't be him, he went extinct millions and millions of years ago, and then those fins are too big to be of a Megalodon.  My blood freezes for a second time, a Megalodon is already a fairly large creature, if that is bigger than a Megalodon it will also mean that it is more indestructible than he is, and moreover I am thinking about a creature that is not  I don't even know what it is.  After recovering a minimum I decide to go back to the house and call my parents, even if I don't know what that creature can be really dangerous.

And it is just when I return home that I notice that Rocky is finished and the news is announcing a shocking news:

- This afternoon off the island a ship disappeared that was headed to the port of Olbia to unload containers, the competent authorities have already started working, but still no trace, no discovery of the ship or its crew, it's like  has evaporated into thin air, not even the radars intercept it ... - the girl of the Newscast continues to speak, but it is as if I no longer hear anything, I just keep thinking about the ship that I have not seen this afternoon, the missing ship  , and coincidentally they both had containers ... and then I keep thinking if that thing seen at sea a few minutes ago could be connected in some way.

The more I think about it, the more I think a nightmare has just begun, for me, for my family, for those of the island, for humanity ...
