Bob was a simple fish, he had a simple job and simple friends. But Bob had a dream. His house was by the land and he had always wanted to go up there. Then one fateful day, he met a wizard fish. The wizard said that he would give Bob the ability to breath above water, and legs. But the blessing comes with a curse. He would never be able to breath in water again! It is also 15 shells. He did not know what to do. So he went to his friends for help. He walked over to Fred's house. Fred said that he should stay with him in the sea. He said it would save money, and he could be with his friends. "But then I would never be able to experience the wonders of the mainland!" He turned to Cecilia, one of his coworkers at the Shellsmart accounting firm. She said that he should go for it! She said that wonce he was up there, he wouldn't need to worry about their jobs, or Shells ever again. "yeah, but what about you guys?" said Bob. He turned to his grandma for help. She said that he could try to go on land without the magic. All the fish that try, never come back. Which means that they are either having so much fun they don't want to come back, or dead. So he might live, or die. He decided that was not the best choice. But Bob was still torn. He did not know what to do. Finally, after some thinking, he came to a decision. He was going to go, and take his friends with him. They will pool their money, and create their destiny together on the mainland. So Bob and his friends approached the wizard fish with their decision. The wizard fish agreed, took their money and instructed them to eat a purple rock. As they ate the purple rock they started to feel strange. They passed out. When they woke up, they were on the beach! What a wonderful world they had in front of them! They looked down and saw that they had legs, and they were breathing. They were so exited! Bob looked around. Fred and Cecilia had legs as well. But where was grandma? "Where's grandma? Asked Bob urgently. "I'm afraid she didn't make it the way up." "Grandma nooooo!" "I'm sorry for your loss Bob, but we have to find a way to get food in this new land." Said Fred. Cecilia turned around and saw a fisherman with a spear, Standing there in shock. He put his spear down, rubbed his eyes and looked again. "By Golly, the gods have brought my dinner to me!" said the fisherman. "RUN!" yelled Cecilia as the fisherman picked up his spear. They ran and they ran but the fisherman was just as fast. The fisherman pulled out more spears, 5 little ones. "See, I told you we should have stayed," Said Fred. But then, Fred tripped! They rounded a corner as their friend left their view. "Fred no!" said Bob as he started to run back. "no! you will only kill yourself!" said Cecilia as she held him back. They tried to lose him, but the fisherman was slowly gaining behind them. "Cecilia, there's something I should tell you... I have feelings for you, I always have. I'll distract him. Now go! Save yourself!" said Bob as he turned and ran towards the fisherman. "Bob no!" yelled Cecilia as she thought of what a horrible idea this was. "Remember me!" yelled Bob as the fisherman readied his spear. She dove into a thick shrub as Bob's blood splattered the ground.
One year later Cecilia was still living, fearing and dreading the day that the fisherman would come back for her.
THE END
