In the colorful Coral city that’s bustling with life, three friends talked as they waited under the staghorn coral for the wavy seas to calm down.
The sunlight reflected through the water as they floated while moving just enough not to be swept away from the coral. One of them broke the silence. “Don’t you guys feel it’s warmer than it used to be? And even the water tastes funny”. Their big eyes looked around for any predators.
“Yeah, so what does it matter?” others responded indifferently. They didn’t know why it was important. But the coral that protected them from the wavy seas and predators knew why it did matter as the white spots were slowly overwhelming him. The coral knew but couldn’t speak.

Hey there! I write short fictional stories about the ocean, conservation, and underwater life. Please don’t hesitate to share the story if you like it. It would mean a lot to me!
