Bait
Pure refreshing freedom,
cool slick water,
and the exhilirating burn of exercise.

Power

Drive

I am master of the waves.

Tastebuds tantalised
with a delicious aroma...
Teasing me,
tempting me...

Sharp pain,
yanking agony,
I can't breathe!

Thrashing...

Gasping...

Dying...

The sweet relief of fluid
caressing my aching gills.
A narrow escape from death,
or a merciful pardon?

Flee,
hard lesson learned.
