HIGH TIDE

So what is this all about?

As teens, two young friends, Stan and Nathan go exploring the caves at Stan's coastal town. One cave in particular, hiding the mysterious looking jaws of a shark.

During this exploration, Stan soon gets into difficulties when the tide begins to come in. He is caught, trapped in the cave, but someone, or something comes to his rescue and saves him, but go as soon as they arrive, but Stan doesn't forget. He makes it his mission to find out who, or what saved him that day.

Stan isn't aware of how much time has passed, when he finally opens his eyes. But he is aware of a few things. He thinks he is most definitely alive. The cool evening breeze is blowing over his wet clothes, making him shiver. He can feel the soft sand beneath him and the sound of the waves close by is almost deafening. But that isn't what is getting Stan's attention the most...

There, just a few inches away from Stan's face, was a boy. He didn't look much younger than Stan himself. But this boy seemed a little strange. His hair was a flame orange. It hung over his face like a pair of curtains blowing in the wind. His skin seemed to glisten, a sheen of a mix of a green, or was it blue? Possibly silver. But what caught Stan's attention the most were the eyes. A bright aqua colour, as if they were the ocean itself.

Still here?

Let's go...
