I burst in to laughter as the I get my first feel of the icy cold water of the lake. Today is my day...
Underwater, the world is silent as unsuspecting fish swim under my motionless body. The sand swirls around in the water.
My lungs burn for air, and I surface, taking a breath as I watch the gray light of dawn come over the foggy morning.
A good selling day, and definately a good swimming day. The fish aren't too active, so I decide I won't fish anymore today. Maybe I'll be able to buy something nice today.
As I walk out of the water, I have the odd feeling someone's watching me. I shiver, then push the thought out of my head.
As I walk over to my catch bag, I smile to myself. The loads of fish will bring in a lot of money.
Again I have the feeling someone is peering at me through the mists, so I quickly grab my bag and run from the lake and towards my house.
But I know that they're following me, because I can hear them. My heart is beating faster and faster.
Who are they? What do they want? Why are they following me?
The second two questions are answered immediately.
Someone grabs my bag with a tug.
"Hey!" I cry in surprise and whirl around.
A hand pushes me to the ground with a violent shove.
And then they're gone.
With my morning catch.
I take a deep breath, but it's shaky. I'm only glad I wasn't hurt.
Well, not really. I look at my arms, which had caught my fall, to see that they have many cuts and scratches from rocks and sticks.
I sigh. Then I frown. Someone's still watching me.
But why? They've got my fish. I stand up, and begin to walk away, but I stop. Instinct tells me to turn around.
I do, and am surprised at what I find.
