The Little Things

It was a calm balmy evening. The sun was setting behind the old mossy trees making everything bright gold and red behind their black silhouettes. Sarah and Jacob were just fishing, lounging on the bank watching their bobbers slowly become harder and harder to see in the dim light as they sipped on warm soda. Jacob's stomach was growling, it was getting dark, mosquitos were biting and neither he or his sister had caught anything that day. "Do you think it is about time to head home?" He asked hopefully, standing up and stretching his arms and legs. Sarah was staring out into the the sunset, blissfully unaware that her younger brother had spoke

Sonoko the Fish (Chapter 3)

"Done in by a minnow," He thought, "I never would have thought it."

Sonoko the Fish (Chapter 1)

Sonoko had been hiding under a log at the streams mouth for a long time. The water here was cooler than his lake home, and a small current rippled against his fins. Again and again he had swam out into rushing center of the stream and then back under the safety of his log. The pull of the water was both intoxicating and terrifying and he was having a hard time making up his mind. Should he leave the safety of the lake, and let the water lead him some where new, or stay home, in the place he had been born in? "Where did fish in the stream rest", he asked himself. "and where does the water go? Does it go on and on forever, or does it go
