Summary

This story takes place in a secluded little town, located by the powerful yet motionless salty sea, a place where not many wished to live and be. Nevertheless, it was the home to a rather gloomy and soulless town where life had become predictable, most people glued to phones with the engulfing clouds of traffic fumes and people bustling around. In this town, lived a little girl who was feeling rather bored and lonely, she was fed up with being different and feeling down. You see, she was a girl that loved to be creative, imagine and dream, aliens and heroes, magic wands, and gigantic laser beams. Even though she was always reminded she was weird, different, she could not help to wonder and dream. You see, she was born unique and different, sometimes things may not be as they seem. One cold and wet, windy day she is walking down the pebbled beach eating fish and soggy chips, all of a sudden from the corner of her eye she thought she saw…no, she's sure she saw a ship!
