You are thinking about something you can't quite put your finger on
I'm thinking about taking a bath but I'm not really sure why. It's always been comforting taking baths but I've turned into such a germaphobe that laying in the tub doesn't feel all that clean to me. I'm not sure why.
I think of spiders for a split second.
My limbs start to sprout into tree branches. I'd like to become a strawberry smoothie one day. My 6 year old cousin jada would be proud. I feel like shes the only person I could have this conversation with and be completely understood.
Plot twist: something involving a hammer / captured
Suddenly a hammer falls from the sky and hits me on the head. I fall unconscious.
When I wake I'm stuck in some sort of netting, the kind that fishermen might use to capture schools of fish. I look down but dont see anything all I can see are the sides of me. I cant breathe. I realize that theres a chance I might have become a fish.
A man who is dressed like Steve zissou from the life aquatic starts yelling "land ho!! " and rings a bell like a town crier. I start to feel scared and wonder if fish can actually feel such emotions.
"Let's eat the fish we captured!!" Someone yells.
Plot twist: a torrential rain begins to fall / time is on your side
Suddenly a torrential outpouring of rain begins to fall. It's so fierce that all of the men on the boat wash away and begin to drown. I can finally breathe again. I flop happily as the water soaks my sides and my gills absorb all that wonderful oxygen.
Maybe being a fish isnt so bad I thought to myself. I dont have to worry about money anymore. I dont have to worry about love or chocolate or espresso drinks. I can just swim and be enveloped by a womb. But are wombs as cold as the Pacific Ocean? I don't know. Fish shouldn't know these things or ask these questions. I suddenly get scared that I'm not actually a fish.
Plot twist: a loud crashing noise / something involving weapons
The boat suddenly comes to a halt. I hear a loud crashing noise like we collided with something. After some time some Fishmen with spears come into view. They remove the netting from me.
I look down and realize I have limbs again but that I also have scales and gills coming out of my arms.
Plot twist - surprisingly it works out for the best
Maybe being a Fishman isnt so bad. I'm not sure if fishmen have the same worries as normal men but I feel more calm. I dont feel as superficial anymore. Every one of these fishmen is both hideous but beautiful. I try to kiss the one that captured me.
"Yeckkk!! What are you doing?"
"Sorry I was just feeling affectionate. I'm new to being a fishman. I'm feeling confused."
"Well dont try to kiss me again I'm not into that. There are plenty of mermaids and fish women back home you can meet when we get back."
"What's the difference between a fish woman and a mermaid?"
"Mermaids are human on top and have a fin. Fish women have a fish head and female legs and body parts. To be honest I thought I'd like the mermaids but all they do is nag and well dont get me started about trying to have sex with a fin."
"So you like fish women now is what you're saying"
"Less talk. They love to have a good time."
Plot twist - you may have messed up / you cant stay awake
I start to get really sleepy. Maybe a nice fish woman is exactly what I need in my life. Someone to hold and make love to and have children with that doesnt nag me to do things like make money. Just provide chum and seaweed and go on adventures with.
I start drifting off to sleep thinking about the wonderful fish women that I can meet on shore. Maybe I was wrong about being human this whole time. It's so stressful being human. For the first time in a long time I feel like I can sleep peacefully.
