I pried my eyes open, as a yawn escaped my lips. Instinctively causing me to stretch out like a starfish. I took in the smell of the salty sea air around me and the quiet crunch of sand under me as I moved. The waves were lapping at my toes as the sea came up to meet me. It took me a bit to noticed the amputated bloody finger clinging onto my arm with sand stuck on from the dried blood. I turned over an noticed the large blood stains in the sand next to me and the fact, I was actually covered in the red sticky liquid. 

As I took in this new information, I smelled the metallic scent of all the blood. It surprised me that I was still left untouched by animals. I guess the seagulls learned their lesson not to wake me after a meal. I sighed deeply trying to recall the events of the murder I committed last night. I had been swimming pretty close to shore looking for some fish. She must have noticed my presence or heard me in some way because she was just sitting on the beach watching for me trying to make out what I was. I same over to her coming in with the waves. She was startled but not enough to runaway, which is to bad because if she did. She might still be alive.

She stroke up a conversation with me which, I hadn't really expected or planned for. She tried to get me to talk about where I came from. Why was I here? Did I live here? What did I eat? I listened to her ramble on for a while as I quietly listened at her feet. Most of my body still in the water. She tried to take a picture me and I shook my head. She kept insisting, and took a few with the flash on, further irritating me. I grabbed her leg and pulled it causing her to fall down and instinct took over from there.

I believe I drowned her then ripped her apart. Then she became my dinner. I must have passed out close to shore and washed up on the beach and made the transition over night. Good thing I was right in front of my house and no one usually came over here. I looked at my house which was built pressed up on the cliff looking over this part go the beach and the ocean. I wasn't worried about committing murder because it one wasn't my first time and two probably won't be my last. Since I live in florida right by the beach. The death can easily be pinned on her drowning and being feasted on my animals, shark attack or an alligator or croc. Most likely it would be a alligator because they prefer fresh water and usually don't come this far south.

I got up onto my feet shakily. I could see the fact, I wasn't wearing clothes and I was covered in a layer of my victims blood and the sand that stuck to it as it dried. I usually didn't wear much clothes or none at all when I was out here by my self, swimming at night or wasn't expecting any visitors. Well when you have a tail instead of legs you also really don't have to worry about your junk hanging out. If you have seen a overly excited dolphin you know where they hide their magc sword. Well its like that but in the normal spot and its not all weird spirally looking. Don't worry about it though everything goes back to normal with legs.Usually I would just walk around in my boxers since this was my private part of the beach. Well I guess I better start cleaning up the mess I made and the evidence.

I crouched down and started pushing the bloody sand and the few remains like the finger into the approaching waves. The tide should be coming in soon so that would get rid of the rest of the evidence. Since today is Saturday I won't have to worry about being late for school. Right now I need to take a shower or risk looking like a nude serial killer. I started walking up the beach to my house. I started walking up the the stairs. The house was raised up quite high in case of flooding and had trees on the sides of it that occasionally bore fruit. The brown hard wood stairs would carry me up the the hard wood patio that surrounded the house. My house was made from hard wood and everything was treated so it wouldn't be affected by salt water or sand. 

I had a screen in front of my glass door to keep bugs out. There were two big glass windows on either side of my door to let more light in. The roof had solar panels so I had energy. I had everything I needed like wifi, food, indoor plumbing, electricity, running water, etc. The water was rain water that was filtered. The  electricity mostly came from the solar panel but I also had a generator if needed. I walked inside the house and looked at the sink which was to the left in front of another window. The kitchen was to the left as soon as you walk in my house. Wooden counters and fridge and a island in the middle. I had a fridge, a sink, microwave and electric stove. The living room was right behind the small kitchen. It consisted of a small red couch on a white rug that stood out on the dark drown wood floor. There was also a brown wooden table in front of the couch. In front of the couch was the tv with a stand. I only had a wii console so I could get some exercise. I was a pro at just dance. On the right side of the room was a table were if had friends over we ate there. Behind that was my library of books. 

I walked through my house and went to the back which was a different room. The back part of my home consisted of my room, the bathroom, my closet and the basement which was actually built into the cliff. My room had my bed with its soft white sheets dark blue comforter and white pillows. The bed was still made up since, I haven't slept in it since yesterday. My night stand had my lamp on it and the book I had been reading that was still open but upside down to hold my page. My work desk was across from my bed and propped up next to it was my book bag filled with my homework. The closet as I called it was just a wardrobe kinda like a dresser that I stored all my clothes in was next to the desk that also had it's own lamp. There was another door that lead to the bathroom and the basement. It was actually a cave that was hollowed out over time by erosion that they found when they built my house. The cave has a small pool that leads to the ocean. 

I opened the door and started to walk down the spiraled hall that leads to the cave. My hands tracing around the cold stone walls helping me to keep my balance. The doorway opened up to the cave. The water sparkled because of the underwater LED lights that were placed at the bottom. I could see my shower in the corner. The water came from a pipe that was connected to the clean water upstairs. It had a drain that connected to the ocean. It didn't have curtains because I personally didn't see a need since I live alone. The toilet was on the other side of the room close to where the sink was. When they built it there they assured me that all the waste wouldn't be dumped into the pool of water but like the shower would be connected to the ocean through separate pipes.

I turned the facet as the water came on and let a sigh escape my lips. The warm water coursed over my sun tanned skin and through my blood matted hair. The sand and the dried up blood gradually disappears as I shampooed and cleaned up. I walked over to the little rack were I keep the towels. I wrapped one around my waist and I decided to let my dirty blonde hair air dry. Oh by the way it's not actually dirty because I just cleaned it but because it mixed with brown. Just in case you didn't understand what I meant by that.

I began to walk back upstairs. It was cool living alone. I was free to do whatever I wanted without having to worry about anyone else. I know what your wondering though. How did he get all this money? How did he get a house? WHY ARE YOU OK WITH KILLING PEOPLE?!?! Well the answer to those questions is. When you can breath underwater you explore the ocean. And when you explore the ocean you find things oh value that can get you rich quick. Such as diamonds, gold, pearls pretty much things people lose in the ocean or treasure from ship wrecks. Also theres something called having a job not everyone has parents to freely give you everything you want and some have to work for it. I got a house because I have a job not just finding things under water but I work a fish store. You can buy fish there or fishing supplies like bait, rods, etc. For the last question. I'm technically not a person so my view on humanity is different. Also after you do something long enough you become numb to it. I went to my wardrobe as I heard a knock on the door. 

"Hold on!" I called out. I opened the wardrobe and grabbed a pair of red basketball shorts and put them on. I grabbed a t shirt and started walking towards the door. I could already see who it was. "Hey Tommy." I said greeting my friend.

Tommy was the first boy I ever met. He and his family were having a pinic at the beach while I was swimming in the shallows. He was walking by the big boulders. I was stranded because the Tide had went out. This was before I knew I could get legs. The boy saw me and freaked out throwing an apple at my head and then falling over into my drying out puddle. I looked at the red head covered from head to toe in sunscreen to protect his pale skin. I rubbed my head and threw the apple back at him. From then on we had been friend even through me murdering, growing legs trying to act normal. His dad is actually the local contractor that built my house and gave me a sale on the wood. The red head in front of me currently was now tanned and freckled. His golden eyes shone bright as I opened the door. 

"Hey Mj hope I didn't interrupt your shower. You know we were supposed to go hang out today." Tommy said with a smile.

"Yeah, sorry I forgot had to clean up a crime scene. Where did you want to go?" I asked letting him come in as I went to the fridge and grabbed a soda out of it. I tossed one his way and he caught it.

"Wait bro you did what?!? This is like the third time this week! You need to get this under control before people start asking questions. Like your the only person living on this part of the beach. Which so happens to be like 'shark feeding zone number one'. People are going to wonder why wasn't there more carnage if it was a shark. Like a thick slick of blood covering the water, but since you did it of course there wouldn't be because you devour your prey after dragging them down into the depth. What if someone goes scuba diving over here and finds the host of skeletons?" Tommy said freaking out while scolding me.

 He hadn't really cared so much when he knew I was killing people and he was always my partner and crime by helping me cover it up.I never ate anyone we knew. It would just be random strangers at the wrong place at the wrong time. Florida has thousands of people and tourist so if a few goes missing once and a while no one is going to notice but my killing spree has been becoming more consistent. I don't know why but I really only care when Tommy starts freaking out like this.

"Calm down Toms. I will stop killing for a while. And go to a strict human and fish diet. You can even watch me eat sushi during lunch." I said trying to calm him down.

"Bro thats gross. I don't understand your eating habits. First people now raw fish. You went to a whole new level of weird and disqusting with the fish. Like aren't you part fish you cannibal." Tommy said laughing.

"I'm not part fish. I'm a mythical creature like a unicorn. To be honest I don't know what I am." I said laughing with him.

"I would say a mermaid but your a male. Maybe your a alien or a mutanted science experiment." Tommy said offering up ideas.

"I don't know Tommy my body is weird. I been ready science text books researching the traits I have. One my gills shouldn't be able to work because of how big my body is and the fact I'm warm blooded. It turns out that I'm both. When I have my tail I'm cold blooded and when I don't I'm warm blooded in order to save energy. I don't know how I change. I just know that it happens. I have skin like a damn octopus or a squid. Remember that time I freaked out in class cause I couldn't see my hand because it was the same color as the desk. I have retractable teeth, see." I said walking over to him and smiling. My main human teeth disappeared as a second set of hard sharper teeth appeared right behind were they had been moving up to replace them.

"That's cool but gross bro. More cool but scary for any dentist. Wait how do you brush your teeth? Do you like brush the first set first then brush the second set or only brush one set?" Tommy asked interested.

"I brush both sets one at a time. On top of that. I have like a hundred more things I can do. Like I glow in the dark. Smell underwater, sense vibrations which I think is a pretty normal fish feature. I can also sense the electrical fields of the things around me besides my regular underwater/night vision." I say to Tommy.

"Bro when did you find all this stuff out and not tell me! Like your basically a super hero. You just need some offensive abilities besides killing people." Tommy said as his phone started to ring. He picks it up and answers it. "Hey mom what's up? Oh ok do I have to come home? Alright I will be up when you call. If I don't answer call Mj cause I will be him with him. Ok love you bye." 

"What's that about?" I asked. His mom was a doctor and she usually wouldn't call him right now unless to tell him she was gonna be late while his father was working on job.

"My Aunt Ruth is sick. So my mom and dad are going to make sure she's ok. She said they are leaving right away so I could just stay home until they get back on Monday." Tommy said smiling. 

He wasn't happy his aunty was sick unless this was the evil Aunt Ruth since he somehow had two. I met both of them. The older grandma like Aunt Ruth is actually the cool one who will give us ice cream and play video games all night. The other one she's head over heels pretty but she's meaner than a angry gator. He was most likely just happy about being left home alone. Since he was home alone this means we would probably chill at either his house or mine after we go out today.

" We should probably go to the board walk. Stacy works there now and she will probably give us free cotton candy." Tom said smiling. 

Stacy was the local hot blonde who happens to hate beauty standards and everything to do with make up and everything. She will tackle, out run or jump any girl or guy in a heart beat if given the opportunity. So every guy with a fragile ego in this town has learned never mess with Stacy. She is also the girl who stands up for people who are bullied, punched a clear leader in the face for making a girl in the robotics club cry because she claimed the girl was to ugly to be in the girls bathroom with them. The girl actually wasn't ugly she was actually quite pretty but the point was the bitchiest girl in the school got punched in the face by someone equally pretty but somehow isn't even in the social hierarchy which made school news on the Facebook page. Also I kinda have a small crush on Stacy. Don't tell anyone or you will be the next one on the menu.

"Ok lets go. I will race you there." I said chugging my soda taking off my flip flops and running out the door like a track runner in the relay race. I could feel the burning hot sand under my feet but I didn't care. I had to get there first. I could hear Tommy start running behind me crying out cheater as I bolted to the snack bar where Stacy is.
