The kraken was near the bottom of the pool, his tentacles undulating and propelling his body through the water with ease. He seemed to glide along fluidly, becoming one with the water around him. I was mesmerized, and for several minutes I stood there and watched him. Not once did he come up to the surface to take a breath. I would have been content to stand there and watch him forever, but I had to be at work in an hour and a half. I needed to get my ass in the water.
