set the scene – you are : in a canoe
/ knocking on the door of a large house
im in a canoe by myself in the middle
of a lake. I'm not exactly sure why I agreed to go canoeing on my
own, it was just something i've been wanting to do for a while. I'm a
terrible swimmer. I've got an extra protective life jacket on.
Something about the puffiness of it made me want to buy it and try it
on.
Plot twist: no time to rest! You are
miraculously unhurt
no time to rest! I start paddling
faster and faster in circles. I'm not actually going anywhere but I
paddle faster and faster anyway. Im doing that thing in cartoons
where im just paddling one direction and going in a circle not
actually moving anywhere. But I keep paddling anyway. This isn't any
time to rest! I came out here to canoe and i'm going to paddle as if
my life depends on it.
There's nothing chasing me but I fall
out of the boat anyway. I think to myself im going to die. I said I
was a terrible swimmer but in reality its worse than that I don't
know how to swim at all. I've always been someone that sinks as soon
as they get into the water. I've often thought it was the density of
my bones. Some people just float more than others I thought. How
could some people float so easily while I had such a difficult time
doing so? I thought about how wonderful it would be to be nice and
plump to float happily like a rubber duck on the water.
I also start to notice that my life
jacket isn't helping me float either. I'm sinking to the bottom of
the lake. I struggle to breathe, I gasp for air. I'm at the bottom of
the lake floor and I feel like i'm a goner. I gasp for air.
But suddenly I realize, I'm okay!
I can breathe under water. I'm
miraculously unhurt! What's going on?!
Plot twist: you hear footfalls/ bam!
I hear the sound of footsteps. How can
this be? I'm under water... can you still hear footsteps under water?
BAM!
Something knocks me over. I fall to the
ground very slowly, in slow motion. The water makes it difficult to
fall very quickly. I look up and notice a giant fish with a bulb
coming out of its head. A lantern fish. I forget what they're called
“hey, do you mind?” he says
“what?”
“do you mind getting out of my way?
What are you doing down here anyway? Aren't you humans supposed to be
at the surface paddling in your canoes”
“i fell out”
“what are you an idiot?”
“yeah”
“oh. Well what are you doing here?”
“my life jacket didn't work”
“that's too bad. Shouldn't you be
suffocating?”
“yes”
“and you're not?”
“no I dont think so.” I take a deep
breath. “nope, not suffocating.”
“that's too bad”
“do you not like humans?”
“not really. They ate my brother.”
“i'm sorry to hear that.”
“i'm going to eat you now”
I start screaming and running away.
plot twist: you see two people /
trouble follows you
sadly though, it's very difficult to
swim in water. I see two people.
“wait... mom and dad?”
but it's too late. The fish have gotten
them. They had sunk underneath the lake surface and were being eaten
by giant lantern fish. The one that bumped into me catches up to me.
“just kidding, my both my siblings
are alive. And they're eating those people over there. And now im
going to eat you. Cya”

upon post writing research they are called ANGLER fish
