Can you imagine being the most beloved and popular guy at your school that everyone wanted to be, or everyone wanted to date to being a "freak of nature."

Darrell Lancastyer was a champion swimmer, and the most beloved guy at Mayden highschool. Now, he is an social outcast, who is picked on by everyone and is referred to as "fish boy". Darrell suffers from constant nightmares and screams of the event that has ruined his life. 

Can he move on with his life and not let his trauma define him, and the words people say about him?

Can he also find the love and strength to step into the water again, or will he drown in his own fear?


Author Foot note: I wanted to make something different, and focus on a different point of view. I asked myself what if a guy suffered from lack of popularity, and bullying what would happen, and how would his story end.All Rights Reserved
