One day I was scuba diving when I saw some fish they were purple white and red. The fish were cool but they were not what I was looking for I then continued to swim and I saw a sunken piano I decided to play a song on it. After that, I again kept swimming doubting that I would ever find what I was looking for… THERE IT IS! I found an octopus I swam down to it and it was surprisingly gentle. I also think it liked me I took my waterproof phone snapped a photo It started springing very high I started to get nervous so I swam to my speedboat!

 

Abyss

 

 Standing like a monolith, Eiffel stared into the abyss and started to cry. The once occasional tears that were gently running down her face turned into a long stream of something like octopus tentacles squirming from her red and swollen eyes. Kaylee was gone, she had fallen into the void, down into the never-ending galaxy. Eiffel’s face turned a pale white, and she melted onto the ground, sobbing. There was a noise, a piano, like in heartbreaking movies. Springing up, Eiffel whipped her body around to find Kaylee, opening her arms for a hug. Eiffel tried to run into her welcoming embrace but woke up crying and petrified.  

I woke up at 7:30 in the morning, to my dog licking my ear, and stepped outside, the gentle morning breeze swiped my face. 

I went back inside, and ate my breakfast, egg on toast with a cup of orange juice on the side.  Halfway through my breakfast I hear a knock on the door. Springing up from my seat, I ran to answer. 

“Hello ma’am,” Came a shy voice. 

“Hello?” I said

“Would you like to buy this old piano? Sounds very nice,  only has a couple dents. You can buy it for only 100 dollars.” The girl said.

Hmm, I’ve always wanted to play piano. I thought

“Sure, I’ll take it” I said

“Great! She said,

I got the piano inside. The once white piano keys were now gray with dust. Quickly, I grabbed a rag and wiped them off. I smiled at the now white, gleaming keys. 

I took my sister’s old piano book out and started to play a tune called “The Lurking Octopus.”

Very strange song. But I realized how much I loved to play it. 

I started taking piano lessons.

10 years later, I still do.

Abyss

 

Eiffel stared into the abyss, standing like a monolith, and started to cry. The once occasional tears that were gently running down her face turned into a long stream of something like octopus tentacles squirming from her red and swollen eyes. Kaylee was gone, she had fallen into the void, down into the never-ending galaxy. Eiffel’s face turned a pale white, and she melted onto the ground, sobbing. There was a noise, it was faint, it was happy. It was a piano, Kaylee’s favorite instrument. Springing up she whipped her body around to find Kaylee, opening her arms for a hug. Eiffel tried to run into her arms but woke up crying and petrified. 

“Just one more noodle….” I exclaimed, as I gently places the last piece of macaroni. It was painted white. 

“Do do do do do do do do do….” Gabby screamed while throwing her hand ruthlessly on the piano keys. Gabby is my three-year-old sister. 

“Gabby! I misplaced the last noodle for my project! Now my macaroni octopus is ruined! Oh, when mom gets home….”

“I-I-I’m sowwy big sissy, I-I-I didn’t mean t-t-to….” She started to cry.

“No, No, it’s fine… let’s clean up the turkey you threw on the floor earlier.”

“Girls, I’m home!” Mom said. Gabby sprang off the piano bench towards mom.

 

 

Good night Simon, my mom says from downstairs. I hed over to my bed and lie down and within seconds i,m out. I had been asleep for 15 minutes then I start having a dream. My dream tonight was about me being under the sea. It’s as I’m swimming in my fantasy I see a white octopus. I swim over to it and touch it it’s so gentle. Then all of a sudden it spins around and plays the piano. It plays a song I think I no. Then it starts springing up and down. But then, Simon you overslept!!!

 

There once was an octopus named 10-tacles. He was not gentle. He was not white he was black. He had a piano named Bobed. He loved how his piano was springing. He loved the season spring. That is why he loved to jump on people. There was a problem his piano loved to jump on him. So one day he decided to get rid of his piano named Bobed. He was sad but he knew he had to do it. The truck came around the corner and loaded the piano in the truck. 10-Tacles was sad so he decided not to get rid of Bobed.  

 

There was once an Octopus named Bob. He was gentle and loved Springing up on other fish to scare them. His favorite color was white. One day Bob was swimming around the ocean when he came across a cave. He decided to go into the cave to sneak up on the next fish to pass by. When Bob was in the cave he bumped into something. The thing made a big noise. Bob found a piano. Bob started to tap the keys. They made beautiful sounds so Bob decided to keep the piano. Every day he went back to the cave to play the piano in secret.  

We are sitting in front of the octopus, I like them, for some reason I get them. I don’t know what it is, it’s hard to explain. They are gentle, smart, and live in our massive ocean. They don’t belong in an aquarium. Out of the middle of nowhere, I hear a “Bum!” I look back and see the massive white piano, the keys springing out of the wood. But, I remember why I came, to look at the octopus. I was there all day. The best moment was when I put my hand on the glass of the tank and the octopus reached out and laid its tentacle against the glass on my hand.

I plunged down into the dark, dank, and deep ocean, assisted by my heavy scuba gear. Still underwater, I opened my eyes to be greeted by an interesting surprise – an almost translucent white octopus. It was staring straight at me, its tentacles waving in the gentle currents. It appeared like it was beckoning me with one of its tentacles. Turning, the colorless creature swam away. Curious, I slowly followed, making sure I knew where the speedboat was. After a while, I was too far away from the octopus to keep swimming at my rate of about 1 mph. Ditching my flippers, I started springing off of various items, including a piano, to move faster.
