Miracle in the Sky


As I leap from one puddle to another I feel a giant knot of fear churning in my stomach. Firstly I see a spark of frightening light whizz across the sky. Thunder pounding through my ears and hail smashing the ground with fierce instant rain thrashing the grass. I stand there beneath my mother's dark black umbrella and gaze at the miserable grey sky.

Strolling back to the house I immediately spring back as I hear a groaning sound coming from the sky. I look up and what I see is petrifying………

Black scaly sickening skin with a hint of yellow around the edge of the fin. Cracked sharp teeth with green gloomy eyes that give you goosebumps when you stare at them. I don’t know is this was a fish or monster and I definitely don’t want to find out.

As they splash around in the rain, I feel there presence lowering down and down nearly reaching to the ground. They zoom past us going as quick at flash making sure they just nip our hair. Trying to run in fear we are unable to go anywhere.

As our adrenalin is pumping seconds later they just disappear in the icy cold wind. Looking back and forth we are unable to find them but excited at the same time..
Walking down to the house, with our gumboots filled with water, soaked hair and saturated raincoats we wonder what we had just experienced whether it was real or not.
