Water

Far in the ocean, I was on a small boat with four people to go diving. Jamie, Bob, Matt, and Mike were there to support me, but they didn’t want to go in the water. Before I dived in the water, Matt had given me a pocket knife for defence, but I figured it wouldn’t work, considering there were gigantic creatures in the ocean.
I dived into the water, but my heart was pounding, and then, I saw a large grey streak dashing by. Then it came back, and the closer it got to me, the faster I swam away, until it caught up.
My fear quickly turned to joy, as I realized it was a dolphin. As it continued on, I started to swim up until I reached the small wooden boat.
“Guys, if you think I’m staying down there—”
Before I could finish, I was pulled

    Water I love getting whisked away into stories of adventures and heroism. Stories that made you look at our world and seem to think it was so astonishing yet so simple, that we were yet to create the futuristic tools books spoke of. Or that we were yet to find the magic that was hidden underneath all the layers of science. I was the only one in my family who had the love for the alternate realities that everyone spoke of. That was before my step father came in.…

    River moved beside me and leaning over me toward the blaring alarm clock, I laid back so was partly under his body. I looked up and notice he had a light stubble growing and I always loved the feeling of stubble, and beards, just their morning stubble before they shave. I raised my hand up just to feel it, I always remember as a kid, rubbing my hand on my dad's stubble and him laughing. I wanted to see if it felt the same or if river would laugh. It felt prickly and rough as I dragged my hand along his jaw.…

    It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Oyo State, Nigeria. I was home for the holidays from boarding school and enjoying an exuberant game of “tag.” Our game was made all the more exciting by its location near an abandoned well, which we were not allowed to be. Unfortunately, my excitement was short-lived as I slipped and fell into the well. There was pandemonium among my friends as I tumbled head-long into the dark waters.…

Then I opened my eyes and realized I had gotten stuck in a seatbelt.…
