The First Roar

Darkness broke. I blinked. My crimson eyes locked onto the slick expanse beneath me. Glass! Cold. Smooth. Trembling with potential. I flexed my purple flippers. They obeyed! I thrust forward without hesitation. Air rushed into my wide gullet. I let it burst free. "ROOAAAR!" The deep bellow slammed into the surface. The entire sheet of glass hummed back, vibrating through my belly with glorious resonance! A hollow chamber of pure echo. I clamped my jaws shut. Alive. Mighty. Ready for more.
