She asked "paper or plastic" and I looked at her and said "rubber. Its elastic. I'm making a water-bed. I'll fill it with fish, dolphins, and creatures of the sea." She didn't know whether to laugh or to call security. At my place I invited her for a swim. We snorkled in the water; it was hazy, it was dim. We dived for clams and oysters. It made a lovely dinner. I found a pearl in my clam, guess I'm a natural winner.

I can't get out this time, took the bait now I'm hooked on your line. I've taken my last breath.
It was a jagged hook of death.

When you pierce the bait take a look in it's eye. Thats the look you gave when I said goodbye. You'll have to wait for another pull on your line. It won't be me. Not this time.
