Improved Essays
The day begins as a sunny day in Ocean city Beach, nothing seemed out of place and it was a normal day. But quickly a giant shadow is cast over the beach and a dragon appears. The humans detect that it is a kraken, and they were right for sure. The Kraken lets out a screeching roar like a pot of tea and its readiness. Everybody freaks out and start running and the dragon is soaring and stalking his target, the lifeguard. He swoops in, but a large tentacle comes out of the ocean and takes the lifeguard. A kraken emerges. The dragon let out a huge loud scream. Then the dragon gets very mad and starts breathing large amount of fire.

The fight begins with the dragon turning the whole beach sand into glass with a giant amount of fire and the water cooling it down but not enough to stop the glass. Then he knocks over a house at it with it’s tail. He than picks a house and launches it towards the glass. The glass shatters and pieces every where and the shards from the explode into millions of pieces and scratched everything but itself.The water turned deep red and the dragon does the same boiling screech this time it was louder, it had destroyed all the glass in a 10 mile radius that did not get destroyed. Two tentacles come out of the water trying to grab the dragon, but dragon dodges it and heads to the ocean.

The Kraken is lifted up by the hurricane and held by the head by the dragon. The citizens looked out to see this chaos ensues and yelling “WHAT IS GOING ON”. People were running blindly right and left. People screaming and screaming and that's all you heard on the beach at Ocean

From the depths beneath the bobbing craft rose a great white writhing shape, and like the kraken’s tentacles, huge slender fingers breached the surface on all sides and wrapped themselves around the helpless vessel.

I was surprised by Mark’s reaction to his mother’s speech, whilist he chose on her side and not his father’s.…
