Whitney hated the water.

    She was 7 years old. "Why do you go in the water?", Deb asked. "Mommy drowned in the water", Whitney answered. 

     "Oh? But you can be in a canoe...", Deb said.

     "No". Whitney said. "What's going on? Whitney, GET IN THE WATER!". Mr. Dumont yelled. "But...", Whitney said.

      "Look, the others are going in...Besides, this is a camp", he yelled again.  "She's scared", Debbie said. She smiled. 

      "Fuck! I knew this is going to be horrible. Look, I'm going into the water...Everyone is going to be in a canoe; everyone will swim; everyone will enjoy the water", Mr. Dumont wiped the sweat from his beard.

       He reached from Whitney's right hand. And pushed her into the water. "NOOOOOOOO!!!", she yelled, as she fell.

       And, before Whitney could do anything, she saw ripples. Then she noticed sharp teeth of the piranhas, and she screamed until she fainted from shock.

"She's fine!", Deb said. She noticed Mr. Dumont shake his head. "Fine, let her rest. But others are going water skiing", he said. And he trudged off, and attended to all of the other campers who didn't complain about anything...Except Whitney.

       She'll be going to love the camp...and the water, he thought to himself. And he smiled.

"GO FASTER!", the boy said.

       He was on the water. The two girls on the boat wore skimpy bikinis. Their ample breasts went up and down, as one of the girls drove the boat onward. And, in the warm afternoon sun, the skier was smiling. He got further up Lost River Lake without any problem. Suddenly the water swirled, then rippled. He then the piranhas fed on his legs. Their sharp teeth ripped into his flesh. Blood gushed everywhere. "ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!", the male skier yelled. And he fell onto the water. And, as the piranhas fed on their meal, the fresh stain of blood and flesh seeped into the water...as the skier's body floated up to the surface...and caused the girls to scream...just as the boat exploded in a huge fireball of flames...and they died as well.

The campers were in their canoes.

       As they used their oars, everyone yelled.  The blood-thirsty piranhas ripped into their flesh. Blood was all over the place. "What's going on?", Mr. Dumont shouted. He got out of bed, and as he did so, he saw several piranhas fly in their air...and attach their sharp teeth onto his face. He flailed around, and then died in immense pain. Then Deb rescued Whitney. "Let's get the hell out of here", she said. She didn't want to leave the girl. And then they saw Paul Grogan and Maggie arrive. "DADDY!", Whitney ran to her father. He hugged his daughter.  "They're dead! Piranhas!", Deb said.  "Ok, it's over I think!", Paul Grogan said. Then he saw Doctor Mengers, the female scientist, and Colonel Waxman coming towards them in their military vehicles.

      "You two are coming to the party. Once it's over, we'll set you both free", Doctor Mengers said. "Fuck!", Paul Grogan said, as he sighed.
