    Paul Kater

    Paul Kater was born in the Netherlands in 1960. He quickly developed a feel for books and languages but ended up in the IT business despite that. Books and languages never ceased to fascinate him, so since 2003 he's been actively writing, encouraged by friends on the internet. The internet is the reason why most of his work is in English. A friend asking for writing help is why some of his writing is now also in Dutch. Paul currently lives in Cuijk, the Netherlands, with his books, possibly with cats, and the many characters he's developed in the past years, who claim he is a figment of their imagination.

      The beachfront narrows to an ocherous ribbon, belted by blue, above and below. After a while, a handful of shearwaters appear in the air above the Cat Balou. The birds flash around us; like knife-thrower tricks at a circus. Diving through the water,

      Forty feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, I look up, down and all around. Nothing but blue water. Suspended in the sea, I exhale and watch my bubbles rise to meet the world above. Off in the distance, two boxcar-sized shapes come into focus.

      Under Water

      You look bad. That was the first thing I had to say to my friend as I noticed him. I was drifting along the sand, looking for strange or interesting things, when I met him.

      Thanks, you would feel the same way if you had seen what I have, MaHan replied. Some idiot with a bright light again, shining it directly in my face.

      I immediately felt for my friend. These patrols in the dark were not too bad but when there were people like that around, that was when patrolling became a nuisance. Imagine big bright lamps shining in your eyes when they are accustomed to the darkness of the deep. Painful, to say the least. And for us life-threatening as well, in some situations.

      What did you do with him? I asked MaHan. I already knew the answer, but it would be good for him to talk about it.

      He shook his pale head. Took care of him, the usual way. First of course I took the light away and made sure that would not blind anyone any more. Then I took him down. It was easy, as he was at least as surprised to see me there as I was to find him. But I have experience.

      I understood. Things like that were no pleasure. Taking someone down and end his or her existence was however necessary for us, otherwise the whole
