I Don't Bite!

My fin peaks out of the surface of the river. It slices through the water like a blade through an apple. I slow down as I come up to the riverbank, and my head pops up out of the water.

My name is (Y/n).

And I am a piranha.

But I'm not the kind of piranha you'd expect me to be.

I've got some serious sharp teeth! And I use them to full advantage to chew down any cooked meat that I find and kill. 

Yes. I kill my animal and cook it before I eat it.

The idea of eating my food alive is just...unsettling! Lech! 

I do not, however, eat my own kind. Nor do I eat humans or anthropomorphic animals such as myself. 

Yes. I'm anthropomorphic. That means I can swim, talk, walk, breath water, and breath air. 

Because I'm a piranha, it's hard to make friends. And I mean really hard. And the Piranha's that tend to bite people just for the fun of it doesn't make things any better. People just assume that if a piranha walks into a place, then he or she intends to bite someone.

But I don't wanna bite anyone! I don't want to hurt anyone.

I'm always quiet and shy. Even if someone wanted to talk to me, I'm not sure what I'd say. So, it's best for me if I just keep to myself.

Where nobody can judge me.

Where nobody can hurt me.

Where I can block out how lonely I am.

I don't come into town much except to get groceries and food, and a couple knick-knack things for crafts that I like to surround myself with.

That's why I'm here at the bank of the river. I slowly walk out of the water, the soaking H2O drips down my scales as my legs, a.k.a. tail fins, splash out of the water and I step out onto the sandy bank. I give myself a moment for my gills to adjust to the sudden change from breathing water to breathing air.

Once my lungs breathe oxygen in and out steadily, I start my walk into the city. I keep a hoodie on over my head and keep my mouth closed so nobody can see my rows of razer-sharpies. I look around at all the people passing by me on the sidewalk. Every now and then, someone glances my way, possibly interested as to why I'm covering my face with shadows.

Other than that, nobody appears to know that I'm a piranha. 

Although, I can't say that I blame them for how terrified they are of my kind. I'm fully aware that not all piranhas are bad, however, I have yet to meet a friendly piranha myself. All the piranhas I've ever come into contact with are always biting people or mincing the daylights out of animals!

I step inside a local grocery store to collect some food. I walk about and find myself in the candy isle. I look up the super-high shelves, and I spy some gummy fish!!

I stare up longingly at the scrumptious looking goodies! I don't like biting real fish alive, but you won't find this fish saying 'no' to candy fish! 

I look around, it appears that I'm all by myself in this candy isle! I look back up at the small bag of candy.

 "It's been a while since I've really treated myself..." I tell myself as I shrug. I didn't usually buy luxury items like candy, but I figure it wouldn't hurt to get myself something today.
