Inky Alternate Ending

Surrounded by creatures in every colour possible, the menacing grey shadow stood out like a sore thumb. I looked up and saw it fast approaching, I could feel the current as the water was pushed aside by it's fins.

The sound of the emerald green ocean water crashing against the shores filled my ears. Children ran along the shore, smiling from ear to ear while laughing amongst each other clearly enjoying their day. Some people were searching contently for sea shells, that were visible for miles. I looked out at the ocean, it stretched out far into the horizon; as far as my eyes could see. There were jetty’s that were perfectly placed within the ocean. I could smell the salt radiating off of the water. I had been waiting for this moment for a long time; I dashed into the ocean I’d been waiting for for the past

Grey, the sea stretched for acres. Beneath the oceans topography, shoals of fish swam through and around the ship wrecks in a frenzied motion. Here, all stood still. Only slightly did my rowing boat rock, creaking in the tide. We rolled to and fro slightly; the seaweed twisted and writhed beneath the hull. Like a snake, it squirmed away, coming to rest only after we had passed. The oars made long, slow and deliberate wakes through the lagoon. I stopped sculling; the boat glided silently towards the stony, promontory beach. We had landed.

All of the sudden, the water began to ripple around the boat. “What was that?” They both said.

The sun peeked in through some holes in the roof, making the water sparkle and dance; like the lights in the night sky. Roots from the tree had grown through the roof of the cave. Freddy swam in and out and around the roots. It’s like our cattail maze.

...he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward—and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock (21).

While exploring the intriguing domain, I stared wide-eyed in the dim rooms, my face was illuminated by the glowing tanks while fish and other marine life gawked at me. It was as if they wanted me to join them or aid them to escape their aquatic prison. It was depressing to be so close to them, to be only separated by glass, but unable to save them. Many animals could have been violently captured from their homes with no hope of ever being reunited with their true families. The stress of hearing to kids crying, people clapping, loud music,

“I have a bad feeling about this!” said Gary. The squad trapsed around, scanning their surroundings with eyes like a hawks, but they neglected the fact that under the water, hungry eye’s stared. Gary stepped to the water's edge and said “Hey guy’s, there’s some pl-!”. He screamed as a beast burst from the water and crushed him in its jaws. Everyone turned but all they saw was a sail slowly slip under the water as it became cloudy, turning a bright red.

As they swam around they came across a dark, and ominous cave. As they cautiously approached the cave entrance,

“Great so let’s look for Captain Nemo’s…well something that belonged to Captain Nemo.” Itchoua replied rummaging around a large box filled with anchors and fishing nets.

We stood on the beach watching the ship sail away from us, they refused to take us any further. So there we stood watching, waiting, and praying for the best. It was just us women and children, the men had gone ahead and scouted out the area. We could still just barely see the ship on the horizon, fading into the distance. None of us dared to more for fear of losing sight of it, so we stood there, and did not move until none of us could see it. Then we stood some more, and waited until the men came back saying it was all clear. We all turned around at the same time and didn’t dare look back, our new life had begun, and that meant we were on our own.

“HELP! Somebody please help!” John screamed, but there was no response. John looked out to the ocean and could not see anything out there, nothing but the ocean.

It didn’t seem worth it anymore. The whale sharks were nowhere to be seen. Our tour guide had warned us that the whale sharks feeding season in the area was coming to an end and that maybe we wouldn’t be able to see them today. I just didn’t think this would actually happen, a 10 hour journey for what? Suddenly I began to hear splashes of water coming from the side of the boat. A group of dolphins swarmed around the boat; this made me feel a little better. Although the sour taste of lime began to erupt my mouth as I begin to remember what we really travelled out here
