Yesterday evening , I was on my way to Seegol’s diner When I saw Mr Mollusc . Usually I go and greet him but something seemed wrong. He’s not usually on the beach at this time .I started to approach and a bent over figure was emerging from the ocean .”he should have seen it by now “but he was oblivious to the fact it was coming closer as if he was not alive .

I was about to shout but the empty eye sockets fixated on me to not speak or else .I knew what would happen next and it did.

That very second the spiny creature bounded onto Mr Mollusc almost crushing him, its talons slowly digging into his skin then without thinking picked up a rock and hurled it at its deformed head.

It crooked its head to face me and darted going faster every step . Its long stick arms reaching clawing at me . I ran up the stairs in my home and called an ambulance .Had I seen the Malamander .
