I woke up to the same old sound of buckets of fish clashing around. I noticed the sign said something else: NO SHOW THIS WEEK Another show, I thought exhausted. We practiced for the long constant hours until at last the aliens that looked through the viewing glass came back. I watched as Katsatka and the baby- received free fish-NO NEED TO PERFORM? I wondered. My stomach wasn't craving for that much food so I went underwater in silence thinking about the day ahead of me. It would be another boring day I thought to myself. I swam around lifelessly as the creepy strangers/aliens stared at me as I swam. I cried with agony and pain. When I got my chance, I tried greeting Kalina but Katsatka rammed her head into mine in pain. She warned me with a rumbling sound that I was unfamiliar of. It almost sounded as if she was growling. She scarred my eye patch even more with blood coming out all at once. I bit into Katsatka's fluke while she wasn't looking and fled. I noticed that I had gotten a rake by my tail that made it hard to swim. I managed though. Soon after attacks and entertaining the underwater mob of people I swam laps endlessly around the pool. I got flashbacks. Aliens taking me away from my family, getting trapped in an enclosed pool, being the runt of it all, no alien favors me like Splash, starve to death, rakes and attacks, to much dominance, horrible childhood, my curvy dorsal fin, and of course Kalina and Katsatka.
