The Octopus and the Seal

It was a sunny, hot, dry, day and there were men kayaking through the deep, dark, blue ocean. In the background, I can see a tropical, sandy beach with a hill full of green grass. Until suddenly, out of nowhere a seal from the water slaps the man with an octopus. The man looks confused and shocked. His face is slimy and wet and he can smell the salt from the air and can feel the sun, glistening on his face.

They can hear the splashes of the water colliding together as they kayak through the deep ocean. They can feel a soft breeze, brushing against their faces. Behind the man in front, is another person kayaking with green paddles. The kayaker in front of him is desperately trying to shoo the octopus away by using his paddles to throw it back into the ocean.

The octopus has a yellowish, orange skin colour and suction cups on all 8 of its legs. The seal has a nice, dark, grey fur coat. It has big, beady, black eyes like buttons and white whiskers on its face, just like how cats have whiskers

The kayaker is wearing a blue hat and sunglasses to protect himself from the hot glare of the sun.

The day was cloudless, as the floating face of the sun glistened with liveliness. In the distance, was a hill of grassy fields fading to tiny grains of sand that lead to the ocean. The water was a dark blue colour, implying that it was very deep.

Kayaking through the ocean was a man, wearing a light blue hat, floating through the water in a yellow kayak. Strapped around his body was a black life jacket with a yellow seam down the middle. Along with him were a few other people, who could’ve been his friends, family or a group of tourist.  

He and other people were having a good time. Until suddenly, a fearsome seal pounced out of the water and slapped the young man with a medium sized octopus. The seal had a dark grey, fur coat, white whiskers and big, black, beady eyes. The octopus had eight long tentacles with] suction cups on each one of them. It was a mixture of pink, orange and brown in colour.
