Blue Harbor by CrazyIcicle ProlougeMiami, Florida Today was my birthday. Florida seemed like a beautiful paradise. I watched the waves eat the shells, and I built a sandcastle that stood up like a statue. I planned to snorkel,surf,dive and have an amazing time of my life. I was disappointed that in 2 days, we had to leave back to California. "Time to go to back to the hotel." said Mom. We reluctantly went to the hotel and turned off the light. While gathering our items, I saw a present. It was a snorkeling helmet, as I live near a lake where many people swam and snorkeled. So, after my 6 hour sleep, I woke up. I wanted to make the most that I could out of my vacation. Gladly, this was in summer. My sister, Carly was already awake. "Watch out Nick, the fireworks here will send you back to the emergency room." joked my sister, Carly. "Ha! I would never get injured by such a little object." She was true however, because today as the 4th of July; coincidentally after my birthday. Once, on New Years Day, I actually got injured by a firework, staying at the hospital for two days.

Chapter 1 As I calmly walked the beach, I noticed that that the ocean was clear and flat. I submerged myself for a few seconds to see what was going under the sea, and I noticed there were no fish under it. I looked back and saw a white crescent, it was indeed beautiful, the most beautiful wave I've ever seen. Carly remarked,"Why did the tide suddenly rise 6 feet?" "Yeah, and there's no fish under the sea." I added As the crescent became bigger, Carly and I started backing up. We didn't bother to pack our stuff, we just walkedup. Then, the crescent disappeared and white colored the entire wave. It was very high, but I wasn't sure what it was. I started walking back in a good pace with Carly. Someone yelled,"Tsunami!" Our parents told us to run as fast as we could, and I started to run super fast. My heart started pounding after a minute or two, but Carly and I kept running, even if our feet would swell after it.
