Goosebumps sprouted on my arms, not from the chill of the water, but from being unfamiliar with the world around me. 5 2 Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a cluster of dull, gray fish hiding between tendrils of algae draped across a rotting log. My sudden appearance startled them and they darted away.
