Chapter 26

• It's eleven o'clock at night, and Annika has just finished her shift and is on her way to meet the captain in his cabin. Annika decided to stay on the deck for a little longer to get some fresh air and appreciate the beauty of the night.
• How lovely the moon seems. It is low and staring toward the horizon, the moon appears to be caressing the water. The moon shines a beam of light in the ocean. It's almost as if you're encountering it for the first time. The sea is calm, and the breeze is blowing, causing some water to splash on her face.
• Raylene, a security guard, passed Annika by. "Hi Annika, are you finished working?" she said. "No, I'm just enjoying the view of the moon; it's so lovely, and the sea is so peaceful." "It seems like a sea dragon will come up at any minute. HA! HA! HA!" Raylene joked. "I know! It's terrifying to look at, but it's also beautiful," Annika said, laughing as well.
