🌊 A Day with Poseidon Rip

As the first rays of sunlight pierced the ocean surface at dawn, I woke up. “Hmm… the waves seem a bit too calm today.” I rubbed my eyes, got up from my soft coral bed, grabbed the trident placed beside me, and swam out of my underwater palace. The sea surface was calm. Too calm. I stared at the sea for three seconds, and the corners of my mouth slowly turned up. “Heh heh… then you should play with me.” I gently tapped the sea surface with my trident. *Tap.* A small water bubble suddenly popped up from the calm sea. *Tap, tap, tap!* One after another, small waves emerged, like a group of mischievous little sprites. I decided to sit on the biggest wave. “Let’s go!” *BOOM—!* The waves carried me and rushed forward. I spread my arms wide, letting the sea breeze mess up my hair, laughing like a child. “Higher!” The waves immediately surged upwards. “Even higher!” The next second, a giant wall of water rose before me. I was stunned for a moment. “…Wait, I just said a little higher, I didn’t tell you to go *this* high!” *RUMBLE—!* The giant wave slammed me straight down. “Pfft—!” I surfaced from the sea, my wet hair stuck to my face. Three seconds of silence. And then… “Hahahaha!” I started laughing first. “Alright, you win.” Just then, a pod of dolphins swam over from a distance. “Hey! You guys came at the perfect time!” The dolphins circled around me, making cheerful sounds. I reached out and touched the tip of one of their noses. “Want to have a race today?”
