Jack's English Journal

The thames barrier has failed!

Written from the point of view of a young boy growing up in London which is cut off from the rest of the world as the water keeps rising…

The thing that sets this young boy apart from the rest of society is that he can breathe underwater. On the way home from school one day, the boat home crashes as the water levels have rose so high. It is only at this point that he discovers his talent. How does he fit in? How does he find his parents? The houses are submerged. My story will be about his quest to find his parents, the people he meets on the way, the relationships he forms. The reactions he gets when he tells people.
