Excerpt/First Sentence(s):
"Why do we have to go after dark?" I asked Dad as we packed our gear.
"Because we can only see the bioluminescent algae when it's dark," Dad said. He always used big words that didn't make any sense to me. He might as well be speaking some old forgotten language. For all I knew, half the words that wandered out of his mouth were made up on the spot.
"Biolumi-what?" I asked, trying to repeat at least one of the words that he had said.
"Bioluminescent. It's algae that lights up at night," he said as he held up an Everlight and clicked it on. The hand-held light made me squint as my eyes adjusted to the glare. He continued, "Like this, but without a battery."
"Like glow in the dark?" I asked.
"Exactly," Dad agreed. He held the Everlight out to me. As I took it in my hand, he held onto it for a second longer while he looked me in the eye. "This is important. Don't lose this one." I nodded as he let me take it from him. I'm sure he could tell that I was embarrassed for losing the last one, so he patted me on the shoulder.
