The Hunted

Breaks in the clouds let the blue sky reflect on the water

 

There's safety in numbers they told me.  I was told to never swim alone, always have  a wing man at least, but even better is to keep in school.  The school will keep you safe, and if one of the students darts off, you dart with them!

The strange thing is no one seems to be the leader.  We wander around, almost aimlessly, searching for food.  Sometimes we move along the shoreline, REALLY close to the shore.  Other times we move into the river.  We have even been known to swim in circles.

Hey, we've already been back there,  where are you guys going!

I have to tell you, though, that the world is not a safe place.  It's not!  Just the other day I was swimming along, and my pal right next to me...   He's gone!  All of a sudden, out of nowhere, this big god appeared from on top of us. It was like a big tunnel just opened up, and then closed in the blink of an eye.. My buddy was trapped and pulled up into the world above ours!

 












 

 
 There have been other close calls, but the gods must have relented, because after half a minute or so.. boom, and they returned from above.  They said you can't breathe up there!  Some of those taken have lived a good life, others had injuries..  kind of sad to go that way.

 

But today's good, and we always remember.... Just Keep Swimming!
