After last night, I was hurt. The things I saw were just too much. What I needed was my sanctuary. My sacred place. My childhood haven.
I needed to visit to my beloved beach.
I took a deep breath of the rejuvenating air and I instantly felt better. Safer. After all, this had been my home since I was but an infant. It just felt right.
With a sudden desire to re-live childhood innocence, I knew what to do. I was going to build a sandcastle. And then I did. Because I just told you so.
Shown above: Mad skillz, yo
There I was, with my own castle. Dino's castle. Sure, it may not have been the most beautiful sandcastle in the history of the universe, but I feel pretty confident when I say that it was high on the list. I mean, just look at it. Yeah. You know I'm right.
So there I was, feeling peaceful, finally at a point where I could begin the process of coping with my earlier discoveries. I'm not going to lie, it was painful, but being there with my castle helped.
That's when it happened. I guess I should have known, but the screams seemed so genuine... Those horrible screams...
I looked out at the ocean and saw a woman, panickly waving her arms. I immediately ran to save her, but when I got out there, all I found was something that I assume must have been from Carp's... personal collection...
Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with him either
With a growing suspicion, I left the uncomfortably sticky object alone and returned to my castle. And that's when I saw it.
He did all that, just to hurt me and my castle. My poor, poor castle. All that remained was that one tower, perfectly emphasizing just how hurt I felt. I was alone, just like that tower. At that point, I was close to giving up. It all seemed to pointless. I had never done Carp anything, yet he treated me like this. Why? I'll tell you why. He's evil. Pure evil. Who else would ruin a sandcastle?
Exactly.
But I knew that I couldn't give up. Even if he defiled my sanctuary, I knew I'd have to fight on, because I couldn't let him hurt my new haven. I can't let him hurt TCS.
