Unceremoniously you are dumped on the beach to fend for yourself, almost missing the creature you lie there a while recovering your breath on the sand after the horrifying attack you think of your next task. Obviously it will have something to do with avoiding the water. Getting up you head towards the rocky outcropping further down the beach the water on your back and chest drying with the warm breeze of the sun.
Finally arriving at the outcropping of rock you sit for a period relaxing. Noticing pools of water in between the rocks you realize that the tide must come in this far and start to explore the rocks as you did when you were a child. You find a small octopus in a pool only about the size of a tennis ball, it’s cute with little blue rings all over it's surface and you contemplate touching it.
