Elemental

All I did was stand there. My mouth gaping open and closed, reminding one of what a fish would do out of water.

And that's how I felt at this moment. Like a fish out of water. I could barely breathe at the sight in front of me.

How did this happen? I was so confused and frightened of what people would say.

I felt shivers go up my spine and realized I was no longer alone.

Turning around, I walked right into what felt like a brick wall. But as my eyes traveled upwards I didn't find a wall, as I had hoped.

I was shaking with fear. How long had he been here? How much did he see?

My breathing stopped when I heard the crack of thunder as he muttered, "What are you?"
