The Great Alaskan Salmon War (a true story)

(The backstory for this epic tale is at the end of chapter.)

Not so long ago, up north in the frigid waters of Alaska, flourished a fierce tribe of salmon.

The were the best salmon.

None could defeat them.

Their tried was called the Sparkle Fluff Princess Warriors, and they had lived there for centuries.

The other salmon tribes kept away, for fear that if they swam to close to the waters of the Sparkle Fluff Princess Warriors, they would die. It was a true fear, for it had occurred before. Countless salmon lives had been lost in war before.

And but only three years ago, bless these poor salmon, the Sparkle Fluff Princess Warriors attacked.

And thus began.

The Great Alaskan Salmon War.

The fighting was brutal.
So many fish lives were lost.
Salmon wives were left to raise their salmon children as their salmon fathers fought valiantly to defeat their attacking salmon enemy.

But alas, all was in vain.

The Sparkle Fluff Princess Warriors slaughtered them all.

But just as all hope seemed lost: A group of the Sparkle Fluff Princess Warriors broke away to help defend those that could not defend themselves.

This new tribe of salmon became known as the Blub Blub Bubble Brothers. They would fight for what was correct. They were brave and strong and to be trusted.

The nearly defeated salmon tribes shouted in joy for their savors.

But then the Blub Blub Bubble Brothers we're killed to.

And so were all the other salmon.

The end.

Okay backstory time.

I was working on homework in the living room. My dad walked in and turned the television on.

Some show called "Alaskan Salmon Wars" or something like that showed up.

So he made a remark about the poor salmon involved in the war. About all the casualties and the struggles of the salmon.

He even turned the TV to that channel and started narrating it like it was some war documentary about the Alaskan Salmon War.

And something about that was so ridiculous to me, I couldn't do it. I ended up laughing like ten minutes straight.
And after that I kept breaking out into random giggle fits because I'm just imagining this Alaskan Salmon War.

I don't know I thought it was funny.
Even if they all die in end.
(In the version my dad told they don't all die but I decided to spice it up a bit. The story didn't have enough punch before.)

Next time you're in history class, ask your teacher to teach you about the Great Alaskan Salmon War. Say it's a pretty recent and hidden war because the government doesn't want people knowing about it, but it happened.
Tell them you know because you were there, fighting for your salmon brethren and you were one of the few survivors.
(Don't actually do this)
