The oceans monster

Far far away  in a dark night,a pregnant woman called Natalia was going to swim to the ocean, but when she arrived she saw that the water had a diferent color it was purple! but she didn't care and began to swim.
30 minutes later big waves carried her to the middle of the ocean and it turned yellow and natalia's stomach became transparent so she could see her baby that began to move and went of her body, he was called Juan,but this babby was a monster he had 6 legs and 3 eyes. Natalia wasa very scared but she promised herself to take care of her baby.
2 hours later the waves carried Natalia and Juan back to the beach, she was very scared and ran to her  house, she told everything to her husband but he got scared and left her alone.
Natalia was feeling very bad because she didn't had a husband neather a house or a place to sleep and she had a son who was a monster. To survive Natalia made Juan work at the circus, there he passed very sad times because everybody laughed of him.
Six months later he got crazy and became a very dangerous person, he escaped from the circus and ran away. Natalia asked of they had seen Juan, but  they didn't answer because they didn't liked Juan 
Juan went to the house of his only friend Samuel that lived at 200 miles they went to a costume store and Juan changed his  look, but he still looked like a monster. In Samuel's city people aslo discriminated Juanso he decided to return to his city.When Juan  arrived he found her mother sleeping under a bridge and asking for money, so Juan purposed Natalia to live in the forest and she agreed.
So they began their trip. They ate fruits that they found in the trees and slept in caves. Natalia and Juan were finally happy nobody was discriminating Juan and he had many friends. Natalia and Juan only ate fruits and it was helping Juan's appereance each day he was more handsome, but at night he became a monster again.
