back to the beaches

Coming home to the familiar scent of moist and heat. Didn't know what to expect here. There is nothing here for me. It's been awhile since i was in Aussie and coming home for holiday seemed weird.
I wanted to visit 1 of my most favourite places; the beach. I could sense people watching me like a hawk. I smiled and waved to a few. To my surprise, a few came over asking me for my autograph. So what's going on here? Has the world gone crazy?
After making a few people happy there was this little child running towards me. Crying and angry. He started hitting me and scolding me saying that I stole his popularity, that I stole his magazine. I hadn't any idea what he was talking about. I was freaked out. Then his older sister came over grabbing him from me and apologizing. I asked around to figure out if anyone knew about what had just happened.
I walked around puzzled and let the wind blow away my worries. Then a mother with her daughter came over asking for directions then later asked for my autograph. I asked her why she wanted my autograph and she showed me a magazine saying this is the 2nd magazine with an article of me(she was showing me Dewan Pelajar out of all magazines). A lot of people loved me after reading the article. The 1st magazine that wrote again me was some huge magazine company. We talked all the way to the lobby of the resort.
At that moment i felt that there was something wrong. There were hardly any adults on the beach or lobby area. Most were in their 20s or younger. Somehow the lobby felt crowded. I looked at the beach thinking of the past and hoping to relax. Then it all happened....
I saw people running inside the lobby area. There were hardly any screams but i saw it coming and it felt like a dream. The wave got bigger and some how it had an evil grin. I heard the evil laugh of the big wave. Coming closer and closer with some of the people there not realizing on the danger. A tsunami was hitting our beach out of no where.I paniced. Then I saw him, R. He seemed to know that this would happen. He saw me. His eyes were telling me that he loved me. He just kept looking at me. I wanted to scream out to him to run but no voice came out. I felt my eyes go watery.
As I ran out warning people off and pulling of some with all my might, my eyes scanned the beach hoping to find him. I saw him one more time before the wave swollowed him. When I blinked, it was another person. I got so worried and terrified I screamed for help but no one came helping me. I pulled out those who were still holding unto whatever was at reach.
The wave then pulled far back. I looked around to find him but he was no where to be seen. I ran down the beach helping those who were still at sight. I didn't know what to do.The further I ran from the resort down the beach, the more i sense danger. Next thing i knew, the wave was back. I saw the evil grin once more and the wave was this time bigger then it once were.....
I held unto a coconut tree and prayed hard. For once this year I prayed with all my might and felt connected to God. I could feel the magicical feeling in me like in fairy tales. I could sense the wave screaming of pain and soon lost the battle after trying to swollow more children more then 7 times.
I let go of the tree and could feel my whole body tremble. Most people were at shore. Only a few young adults seem to think this was a game and were camping hoping to get more of the wave. I asked and begged them to help me search for survivals(for him). I knew he was out there still alive. I knew there were children out there in need of help but no one saw hope.
At that moment, I knew what was happening. Adults sent their children here sacrificing them so that they maybe safe. Safe from what I don't know. I knew I had to do something quick to save those people. I had to find them asap. I had to see him again.....
The sun was setting quick. Although fear of open sea, dark and death, i had to do something. I just had to. I got unto one of the big boats which had a light on it and a picnic basket of food. Nobody saw me disappearing out on the open sea. And once more I was alone and scared but felt magic all around me. I was sure they will all be ok. It was just a matter of time before everything will be back as it was.

I prayed and hoped for strength........
