The reporters tried to swim but it was like their feet were bolted to the floor. Minutes later the city came back up with nothing on it. Not even the dead bodies. All the buildings and statues appeared exactly the same. I stepped on it and the dead bodies appeared for only me to see.
“Do you see that?” I asked Carrot.
“See what?” He said.
“The dead bodies. They’re there again,” I said.
“No, they’re not,” Carrot said, frustrated.
I took one more step. “Now they’re back,” he said.
I started to walk in the city, hoping I would not end up like the reporters. I didn’t. Soon the statue came to life. It told us that we were the chosen ones that were meant to save Atlantis from the spirits of the people who had died there. So Carrot and Topher geared up so they could touch the ghosts and defeat them. The first ghost they found was Topher’s mom. Topher started to cry. Then Topher hugged his mom and she became a dog again.
Then the statue came over and said: “I forgot to tell you that if you hug your loved ones, they come to life again.”
“Little late,” I said.
