With its head out of the water it made a snickering sound at Bobby. He was confused. A dolphin had saved him from the sea and pushed him towards an island? At ten years old you have fear about a lot of things.
How to react to this? Why would something that did not know him try to save him? Why would this animal care?
Bobby followed his rst feeling and reached out to the dolphin. He didn’t know how to describe the dolphin except rubbery with a powerful inner being. The dolphin allowed him to touch him and seemed to enjoy it. He made
one
last
snicker
and
then
swam
away.
Bobby
headed towards the beach with all the energy he had left.
Bobby laid on the beach for many hours. He had gone through things he couldn’t understand. But these thoughts faded away as he got sleepier.
Soon everything went darker as he lost all understanding and believed he was going to die. He didn’t realize this; but felt this. It was a peacefulness of sorts but not one he liked.
He wanted to live!
He laid there for an eternity it seemed and then he wanted to wake out of this fog but as in a dream the blankets were around his legs, he could not. The imaginary blankets were tightening as all went black and he fell off into a deep sleep.
Something was licking him. Yes! He felt something! This strange feeling was slowly waking him from inside himself. It was very slow and felt like it was unreal. He felt like he was swimming up a tunnel to light.
After hours or seconds, he had no idea, he woke up on the beach coughing.
He looked up to see a huge turtl
e staring at him.
Snickers!
