The dream?

A breeze hit my face from the ocean. I looked down. A turtle!
It looked up at me and smiled. The sand covered it from head to toe. The sunset like my head when I looked at the turtle.
I'll name him leaf. I took him home to find the house empty.
WE OO WE OO WE OO. The siren! I ran to pack my bags.
WOOSH SPLISH SPLASH. The water went over my head. Down I went in the big deep dark ocean with little baby leaf.
My eyes are wide open. And I can breathe? Where is leaf. My lungs filled with air. Bubbles filled with words what?
(small spaces)
(public speaking)
(getting in trouble)
(getting hurt)
(getting kidnaped)
(dying)
I gasped. These bubbles filled my body.
I can't breathe!
My body shattered into bits and pieces
My lungs expanded with air. I'm alive?
I lifted my weak body filled with cuts and bruises. What had happened?
I fell back down. My head hurts. I slightly turned my head to see a little baby turtle.
On the tag, it read. "This is my baby leaf, he is made of glass take good care of him. Grandma."
