Prey
The tropical reef was a well-tended garden of colour and movement. Green and purple parrotfish paraded past multi-hued corals. Orange clownfish fed from the waving tentacles of a red and blue sea anemone which was attached firmly to the base of a limestone rock hurled into the sea during an ancient volcanic eruption. Two black and white banded coral snakes slithered over the rock and into a small hole below the anemone polyp. A lone tenggiri watched the snakes disappear then kicked away, her body faintly reflecting the dappled sunlight.

A scale model of the photon plant he managed for fifty years sat on a desk in the middle of the room. His latest project to combat the boredom of semi-retirement.
