Out of my Mind...

day 12

Prompt: It's hotter than Hades in August and you're at the beach. You run out into the ocean waves, jump to get over that big one, and on the way back down, something bumps against your leg. What would you do? Would you dive under the water to see what it was? Would you yell for help? Would you swim toward shore in the same direction as the bump? Or something else?

I embrace the hot sunny day and I splash happily in to the blue waves the cold is shocking but welcome. I turn to watch the flight of a seagull, a crashing notice wells in front of me I turn back sharply to the sea a huge wave engulfs my body and a strange substance makes contact with my skin. I struggle physically to stand my ground against the secret under pull of the water. I grip my fear round the neck and shove it under the water my hands grasping viciously for the enemy. I grab the underwater alien as fast as a ninja my mind having no time to pause for thought. The slime starts to permeate my imagination forming the face of a ..... oh a piece of seaweed.
