When The Sharks Sang
I have always said that the worst part of human beings is that they have an annoying habit of always acting human. I should know, I have been watching your species since you evolved into your wretched state. I am 3rd Assessor Vulcan, presently observing your planet, you humans, from the massive surveillance facility hundreds of feet below the surface of MARS. MARS as you know it is not Reality. Think of it as a Planet sized super computer containing technology you couldn’t possibly conceive. MARS is actually an acronym for Mobile Assessment Reconnaissance Station, and we have been doing just that since before your time. But at long last, my most sincere wish has been granted. I get to sit here, surrounded by holographic surveillance of your planet. And I get to watch it die.

What I have Seen
I was born as the eldest english oaks were dying. My first breath as they felt their last. A bloodthirsty king who chopped down trunks as happily as he discarded wives. The things they had seen put my own experiences to shame. I may have followed the smoky scent of Viking braids, but those trees watched the Romans leave. Drank from rivers annointed by Celtic druids and weathered storms in the company of Ursidae and Wapiti.

Encounter
The bright morning sun lit up the new snow as if it was illuminated deep within each snowflake, all combining their light. The sky was clear and brilliant in blue. The air stings my face, but at the same time, fills my lungs with crisp, pure air, settling into the deepest part of my core. I look to the top of the hills on each side of me, feeling protected and safe within the valley's confines. The gleaming snow seems to light the woods that surround me from within. As I make my way up the snow-covered path, the blue sky breaks above. The bare, dark tree limbs seem to come together against the topaz blue sky, and the stained glass cathedral before me opens up. The snow crunches underneath my feet as I walk deeper into the hidden inner sanctum that seems to call for me. The air still stings my face, but as I walk into a clearing, I pass through a warm, bright spot that makes me look up and acknowledge the sun, appreciating it for the warmth and light it brings.

I'm Just a Little Clownfish
So I woke up this morning after only about three and a half bubbles of sleep. There was too much on my mind again. Too many problems to solve, other fish to please. I was feeling extra grumpy. Wow. Another day drowning in my sorrows. I thought to myself 'Why can't I feel like Barry feels every day?' I know he looks grumpy and nasty, being a Barracuda and all, but trust me; he's just so peaceful all of the time! Anyway, I got out of bed, tidied my anemone, because you know, tidy anemone, tidy mind etc. I was going to make an egg for my wife's breakfast, but then remembered that she wouldn't be happy eating her own offspring. Then I also remembered that I'm broke and don't have a wife.

Deep Dive: The Last One
10th Grade Historical Report: The Dawn of the Aquatic Age By: Elonia Markie Date of submission: 28 July 7021 Submerged under water the aquami people grew accustomed to their new underwater lives in the year c. 4020. They lived in their own submarine homes with their families. Over time they developed mutations that allowed them to bring forth a new human species that was capable of surviving underwater. They were called homo aquamanti otherwise known as aquami. They were able to develop intricate systems of communication through the water. To travel between underwater countries there were above-level ports where they could catch a water plane for short trips or boats for elongated ones. They built skyscrapers made of a special kind of synthetic non-corrosive metal that was anchored into the most shallow parts of the Earth’s ocean, which had previously been known as deserts to the human species before. These were dry, hot, arid areas with little to no water. The cities were built in the ocean with their bottom floors submerged below sea level. As you go up the buildings, past the tenth floor, it is completely dry as it is the first floor completely above sea level. That’s where the most wealthy, powerful homo aquamantis live and work. It is also where most governments position themselves in specially marked buildings.

She's a shark
The story begins on the docks of the beautiful Atlantic. A shark attack occurred for the first time in 20 years. By the time the coast guards could get involved, the head and torso of the young man only remained. One of the two coast guards jumped in the water to remove the remains. As the guard got ready to enter the boat, a shark was approaching quickly. The guard on the boat instantly shot the shark with an arrow. The shark was no longer moving, and his fin began to disappear into the water. As the guard in the water goes back on the boat, he says, “Oh boy, we better fish that shark out and get those headache pills ready, you know Mary going to have something to say.” The other guard laughs and replies, “Nets already ready, don’t need to say her name twice. We had no choice. She cannot say anything.” Once the shark was on board, they headed to shore, where Mary was already waiting.
