Story THE FISHERMAN

[SophiaWilliams677]

I sit on the boat. My typical fisherman outfit glistening out into the sea. I’m happy. Life is happy.



My rod pulls backwards, my smile increases and I pull the rod upwards. It’s a worm. The fish escaped. I clench the worm tightly and throw it into the sea. I lost the fish. I lost the hope.



I wait. Patiently.

The rod pulls downwards. I gleefully pull back up and see a sea bask. It’s glistening skin reflects the sky. I grab a hammer and slam it’s head three times to kill it. I’ll eat it later.

The rod pulls for another time. I gleefully pull it upwards and find a worm. Pathetic. A living remnant of my failure. I shove it in my mouth and continue on.

The rod pulls back again. I pull it upwards and see a grey sea bass. It has tar leaking from its mouth and eyes. It wants me. I cut off its head and shove it down my mouth. The tar grows inside of me.



I can feel the tar coming out of my eyes.



I continue fishing.

The rod pulls downwards. I pull it up and see a gulf founder. Beautiful. As it flaps in my hand, I look in its eyes and see it’s future demise. I throw it away. Out of my league.

The rod pulls downwards and I pull it upwards. I see a red bass. It’s red scales assault the eyes. I eat it, gleefully.

The rod pulls downwards, I pull it up. It’s a catfish, it has worms inside of its stomach. The larvae writhes, beckoning me for my flesh. I eat it with a wonderful grin.



I begin vomiting.



20 minutes later.



After vomiting for 20 minutes, I continue fishing.

The rod pulls downwards, I pull it up and see a red snapper. It’s headless, the blood trickling down my hand. It’s head speaks to me. I shove it down my mouth. My mouth is the crocodiles teeth.



Wait I

The rod pulls downwards, I pull it up and see a human head. It’s eyes are pecked out. The bone inside of it has been taken away. I eat it and continue on.



Life is dead

Life is dead

Life is dead

Life is dead

Life is dead

Life is dead

Life is dead

Life is dead

Life is dead

Life is dead

Life is dead

Life is dead

Life is dead.



The rod pulls downwards, I pull up and see a flesh cube. It pulsates. It wishes to be a part of me. I throw it away in fear. The ocean becomes red, all the fishes are dying. I quickly scurry and find the flesh cube floating in the water, I pick it up and shove it down my mouth.



I wait.



For once I feel peaceful.



The boat slowly goes down, the floor boards crackle and the entire boat bends, I float peacefully as I slowly drown in the water.



Just a wonderful day for fishing.



The End.

I am unironically your biggest fan. THIS SCENE:


"I begin vomiting.


20 minutes later.


After vomiting for 20 minutes, I continue fishing."


Literally sends me straight to tears every time. It's so good. I can't even imagine how you came up with this. It's honestly incredible. If I could nominate you for an award I would. I know it sounds like I'm being sarcastic but I am absolutely not, I genuinely love this story it just kills me.
