Miss Ocean, is a budding writer, looking forward to getting her thoughts down on paper and here in digital form. This is the first of her stories, that has been on her mind since she was 8 years old, the notion going into a notebook, complete with illustrations - then she lost the notebook, when her cat got hold of it. At time of writing, she is just 11, going on 15. So, please be generous when appraising : )
