Peculiar (Larry Stylinson)

In all the seas, in all the world, there has never been a land quite like the isle of Eroda.

In a dreary fishing village on the isle of Eroda, a dark cloud hung metaphorically and physically over the inhabitants. The boy born with the brightest smile soon fell into the trap of conformity. When he decides that living without a smile is no way to live, the boy comes face to face with a fish who felt exactly the same. Through befriending his fish and setting it free to live a better life, the boy meets someone who may be the first to not see him as peculiar.
