at last it arrives after 38 hours of waiting

there they all were..
                                  splashing and swimming about in circles and talking to each other about their lives.          The water was fresh and pleasantly warm. ..thanks to the the endlessly glowing ball of fire that shone in the blue sky. There were three clouds watching over that part of the world on that particular day. They were cumulus clouds; -piled high with fluffy white stuff.

                     the people were all waiting for something
        
                                                                          (nobody knew exactly what)
       and while they waited they tried to act busy but everyone was slightly nervous.
A lone albatross named Alba, circled haphazardly overhead making noises~

                   {that no one especially enjoyed}

                                                                               The heat waves shimmered on the sand and everyone________         was overjoyed that nothing drastic was happening. But they all knew that sooner or later something would>

                                                  THEN

                               a jetplane rumbled overhead and an eight-year-old floated swiftly
                                                                                                                                     down..


                                            to the shimmering sand.

Everyone gasped--"

                                             "heyo" he said.

                                                                            no one said anything or got excited because this was just an ordinary boy; not at ALL what they had been expecting..

 the poor fellow got embarrassed and said "sorry to intrude" but nobody accepted his apology and he did not feel at home.
