unaware of the uneasy surroundings i walked on towards the end of the jetty. i breathed in deeply and filled my lungs with the tasteless air, reminding myself that this action was supposed to be relaxing and anti-depressing, perhaps bring a tinge of tranquility as well.

no it wasn't. for at this moment the great sea monster rose from the shallow depths, bring a large amount of water towards me, nearly throwing me off my balance. with some curiosity he looked at me for a while, wondering why its meals seemed to become smaller in portion. then he prepared to swallow me up in a single bite, bringing a sad, tragic end to my tiring life.

time slowed down, just like always. then i got those silly flashbacks, remembering how i always played alone as a stupid ugly kid, how i always had to stand in the corner of the class just because i didn't do as well as most people in class. fucking teacher. i remembered how i got turned down at every attempt to ask a girl out, because i wore specs and a buttoned checkered shirt to school. fucking girls.

as my flashbacks became more recent i saw my fat, lazy, ugly, smelly wife whom i was match made to. and my shrewd mother-in-law, who pretend to be kind and friendly when i wasn't around. but i shan't curse them, for they are family. then i saw my last birthday, perhaps the last enjoyable experience i had, when i got retrenched and got paid a large amount of money as compensation. then i bought a few movie tickets and went for a movie marathon myself. it was still a fairly happy moment.

then i remembered one of the movies i watched that day, which was a horror movie, and screaming girls and their tough-on-the-outside boyfriends got chased by a scary looking subject that intended on inflicting pain and suffering on them. i noticed that they like to scream for a few seconds before taking off or getting killed. just at the moment they stop screaming and was about to retaliate or escape the axe splits their head in a half. if it was me i'd shut up and act immediately.

the monster's stinking breath brought me back from my wandering thoughts. his mouth was already over my head, and i thought i would run, instead of getting frozen in my tracks screaming like those idiots in the movies. but i was shocked at how much closer he seemed to be from the last split second. with a swift motion he lifted me up by my head and slammed my body on the ground, and broke my neck. i realized i did not even make a little noise. as i got chewed up into soft, easily swallowed pieces, i heard some cheering from the relieved islanders who fed me to the sea monster just because they thought it would make the sea calmer. if i were him i'd eat them up as well.
