Hello and welcome to my first DTA entry! When I saw the design I knew I had to enter for him! -- Second part: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/735715431 - Bio - Name: Shrimp Pronouns: he/him Likes: swimming, sleeping, grey, mov Dislikes: lobsters, fish, bright colors, walking --------------------------------------------------------------- Backstory Shrimp lived in a small coral reef in the Pacific Ocean. Life was very peaceful for the fishermen stayed away from the area. One morning, Shrimp noticed a crack in the seabed trailing all the way through the town. "That's weird," he thought to himself. But he continued on his day and soon forgot about it. The next day he wakes up to find the crack twice the size of before. This time, he ran to the mayor and told him the news. The mayor laughed in his face and told him it was nothing. Shrimp wasn't so sure. Embarrassed, he fled the room. The young sea-creature swam all the way to the edge of town to an old shack. The town's trader lived there and he told many exiting stories of his travels when he was a boy. " . . . then, from the cavern below, searing, hot-red lava burst out of trench! I only had a few seconds to make my escape . . ." he was saying when Shrimp entered. Everyone was too engaged into the story to notice his presence. Old Tom was a great story-teller, but tended to make his stories sound more exciting than they actually were. "I looked back and say what had become of my village: the town square was in ashes and the rest of the houses had fallen into the great crevice left behind," said Old Tom. Then, as usual, he began taking in questions. "How did you realize a trench would open up?" he recognized his mother ask. "Well, I noticed a great big crack running through our village . . ." Shrimp didn't need to listen anymore. He staggered out Old Tom's Shack and headed towards the mayor's office. He stopped halfway there. Hw watched curiously as his father stealthily slid through the mayor's open door. What could he be hiding? Shrimp swam after him. The moment he reached the front door, it closed in his face with a great, loud bang. He put his ear to the door and listened carefully. "You heard what he said!" Shrimp heard his dad accuse. "You shouldn't have kept it a secret from him." "I did what was best for the town!" the mayor shot back. "What could I have said? 'Oh, y'know that crack you spotted? Well, it'll open up and swallow the town whole. No big deal," the mayor said in a-matter-of-fact voice. "Well you could've told him the truth!" Shrimps dad retorted. Was it true? Will he really loose his home and everyone he's ever loved to a trench? ---------------------------------------------------------------
