96 The Last Hatchling (2/2)

They all had finally made it out from their tiny eggs, or so we thought.

Another day later, the sand started moving albeit with a small splash this time. With great effort, a significantly smaller green sea turtle had finally made it out of the heavy sand. The smallest of them all so far. It was because of its malnourished body that it was not able to quickly made it out of its shell.

Unlike his other green sea turtle brothers and sisters, this little turtle is one of a kind. Not because it excels, but because he was always the last one. Not even traces of his siblings can be found. Their shells are long gone, and he was there, alone and hungry.

The sheer weight of the sand against its small body also made it almost impossible for the little turtle to surface. But the little turtle knew he is not meant to stay buried forever.

He is still alive. He knew it, and the heavy sand covering his entire view, seemingly telling him that there is no hope, is not enough to make it give up its life without fighting.

With its small body and gigantic determination, it finally made it out. Although a whole day late, but still; our little turtle made it. Its small black beady eyes looked at the sun as it reflected brightly and then faced the ocean as he is meant to.

The wide ocean is finally in his view. An adventure is about to begin.

The little beak made a little curve, revealing a cute little smile. And just like that, he made its way towards the waves with sheer excitement and gladness.

WOOF WOOF!

”Bruno! Wait!~”

Suddenly, quick thudding can be heard not far from the little turtle. From the reflection of his eyes, an image of a human and a dog came to him.

It was a brown little boy about seven years old, was chasing after his dog that came rushing; just right before the little turtle could finally go into the ocean. His brown eyes and dark brown hair was a good uniform to his dark brown body. It was from being overexposed from the sun and ocean.

”Wow! A turtle! Bruno look!”

WOOF! WOOF!

Instinctively, the dog sniffed at the shell of the little turtle, barely two inches long.

”Don't eat it, Bruno!” The little boy quickly grabbed the little turtle before the dog could do anything further.
