A Memory of a Fish

I swam and swam. 

I felt the water going between my gills. 

Trying to find a place to sleep. 

I took a wrong turn and found myself in a world 

of bright and shiny objects. 


They had a weird curve and a little barb on the end.

I went over to inspect it and I found food there.

I went over to taste it 

Then the object pulled up as fast as a sailfish.

It looked like salmon eggs.


I decided to swim away and continue looking for a place to sleep.

My mouth was caught on the object. 

It started to go up very slowly. 

I tried to break loose
It was too strong. 

Then
Snap. 

The string that was holding the object broke. 
I then decided to head back to my home. 

Never to come back again.
