"Norm! Hey Norm, c'mere and get a load of this!"

"What is it?"

"it's a bubble with a human in it."

Norm rolled his eyes and flipped his fin at Gabe, "No shit, Dude. What do you think it's doing?"

"Floating."

"Ha ha, always the comedian. Seriously, what is that dude doing down here?"

"Other than asking to be shark bait, I'm not sure." Gabe said, swimming around the bubble to get a better look. The bubble was barely visible, blending in with the surrounding water. The human was suspended in the middle, his eyes open, but not moving.

Norm swam closer and brushed the bubble with his fin. It was pliant and bounced back into place when his fin slid off.

"Weird." Gabe said and flapped his fin against the bubble. The push was enough to move it slowly through the water and the turtles glided after bopping it back and forth between them.



Greg put his arm around his wife. "He's at peace now, Mandy. No more pain. No more treatments. He's Right where he wanted to be, swimming with the turtles. "

Mandy smiled. Despite the tears running down her cheeks, she really was happy to share this moment with Greg after so many months of sorrow and uncertainty. "I can almost hear his laughter as he plays a game of tag with a couple of sea turtles."

She moved to the edge of the ship for a moment alone and whispered, "Have fun buddy, Mommy loves you."
