"Y-y-you're a Kraken!" I stammer in an accusatory tone, clearly in shock as I stumble a few feet backwards.

"Well...yes." My pen-pal said, moving a little closer to shore. "Honestly, I thought you might've figured it out in my fifth letter when I wrote I would love to drag you down to the inky depths of the bottom of the sea and leave every square inch of your body covered with sucker marks...."

"I thought you were using some kind of artistic flourish- I didn't think you were being literal!" I say as she continues moving towards me. "Plus...it looks like some of the ink smeared and dried out while you were still writing the letter..."

"Oh sorry...that must've been a fresh batch of ink..."

"From where...?" I begin to ask "Wait- do I want to know....?"

"Maybe this was a mistake." She said, her eyes downcast. "You're sorry you came out here today, aren't you?"

"What? No....I'm just a little surprised, that's all."

The Kraken said nothing as she sullenly eyed the shallow water she was standing in- doing anything to avoid facing me.

"All those weeks...." I continued. "I was looking forward to your letters because I knew they were written by someone smart, endearing and who had a way with words."

"You're just saying that." the Kraken pouted.

"No- I never really paid attention to the stars in the night sky before, but when you began describing how you'd look up at them during those lonely nights at sea, I'd find myself looking up at them too and wondering if we were looking at the same constellations or shooting stars...."

"Really?"

"Really" I nod.

In the blink of an eye, she's on top of me, squeezing me with her arms and four of her tentacles.

"Oh thank you! You have no idea how happy that makes me..." she squealed joyously.

"N-no problem." I wheeze, short on breath due to the Kraken's enthusiastic squeezing.

"You're so cute....I could just eat you up!" my Kraken pen-pal says with a mischievous grin.

"Could you maybe not do that...?"
