The Deep Sea Beast

Crying out loudly, I looked around me. “Where am

I?” I gasped.

I was back in the hospital room and the curtains

were drawn. Then, I heard footsteps approaching.

The doctor entered and questioned, ‘’How are you

feeling?’’

I nodded and then she announced that I could

leave. My family came in, just behind, so I got up,

packed and we left.

Thoughts were racing through my head — Was it

all a lie? Did I not see the monster and was I not
dead?

My thoughts were interrupted by my aunt’s soft

voice, “Child, aren’t you happy to leave this place?”
