Michael winced, he had been on the coach for hours and his teachers kept on passing by telling all the screaming rabble of his classmates to calm down but that wasn’t the problem.
He had been experiencing sharp pains in his head all over half term and had not thought to tell anyone but he didn’t want to think about it he was now going to the aquarium for a school trip and wanted to enjoy it, even though he was surrounded by a screaming babble of hormone crazed baboons.
Michael was one of those children that every body ignored not in a bad way but just ignored, he was an average height, age, speed, and looked rather normal that’s why he was ignored sucked into the crowd if you will. The coach pulled up next to the blue towering structure Michael thought about how all the sea creatures were alone.
No maths, no annoying classmates, no school,
Michael was jealous of their lives and would (he thought) be very happy to switch places, but that was impossible.
As the teachers tried to sort out the sorry excuse for his classmates Michael sat and thought and he did the same on the way in and at the reception desk.
Michael found the aquarium slightly boring and decided to sneak away, so as the maths teacher he waited until one of the teachers was chosen to look after Michaels group, it was the maths teacher Michael got very bored in maths so when the teacher turned away to pick his nose Michael sneaked away, away from the boring barnacles to where the cool fish were kept, Michael’s teachers wouldn’t miss him,that’s what comes of being ignored. Michael gazed at the sharks and jellyfish and all the cool fish and after a while wandered into a different room.
The octopus room there there was all manor of different species of octopus, colourful ones, plain ones, small ones and… the biggest of them all the main attraction of the aquarium, Gigantor the worlds biggest octopus spanning over a whopping 200 meters of rubbery tangled tentacles. But Michael couldn’t see him but there was some scaffolding from a new exhibit being kept next to the overly large octopuses cage. Michael was in his teens and was good at sport so he easily climbed the large sheets of scaffolding; now Michael could make out the gigantic deep red eyes staring right at him.
This was odd; in the picture Gigantors eyes were yellow…
Suddenly Michael lost his balance and plunged head first into the freezing cold-water filling Gigantors cage Michael was terrified and started to flail around in the freezing mass of liquid but not after a gigantic tentacle started to snake its way towards him…
