One day while fishing at a lake and setting in a shaded spot, while the hot sun beat down to punish the earth and it’s bad people. I was warm, but setting in the shade helped. Didn’t have a bite all morning, and I was here at Sun up. I kept replacing the worms on my hook, so each could have a turn, soaking in the cool water. Didn’t know where the worms were going, but they were sliding off of my hook and disappearing some place.
Every so often I could see bubbles coming up to the surface from the same location where my fishing hook was resting near the bottom. I even put a floating bobber on the line, to change the hooks position.
Some times the bubbles would make a bursting sound that one could hear when it was really quiet. I got to thinking about that and decided to get in the water and watch and find out what was going on,
I was wrong about the fish not biting, They were all around my hook and line. What I found, were two beautiful young mermaids, by my line, They were taking the worms off of my hook and feeding them to the fish, this way, the hook wouldn’t hurt the mouth of the fish. I swam closer to get a better look and one of the Mermaids with a worm in her hand, was giving a worm to me. I shook my head no and had to surface for more air. After a few deep breaths I dove again, but they had disappeared. Now I am really wondering, did I see what I thought I saw?
I picked up my rod and reel and wound up the fishing line, and when the hook appeared, there was a small note attached to it, I read it, and it just turned to liquid and was gone. The note said: thank you, for helping us feed our fish friends!
Now who is going to believe this story if I told it and I have no proof? Without the note, and If worms could speak, but we all know that they don’t. So I just sat there in the shade, drinking cold beer and watching for more bubbles to come to the surface.
The Sun went down and the wind came up and it started to rain, I was cold and wet and had been setting there for most of the night. The beer was just about gone. So I gathered up my stuff up and walked to where my pickup truck was parked. But it wasn’t there. It was going to be a long walk back to town and the sun was starting to break on the horizon in the west. ( IN THE WEST ? ) I must have panicked, I was lost and didn’t know what to do next.
I found a place and sat down, shaking my head to see if it would clear. Then I heard this voice and it said: What’s wrong? I replied: I am lost and I don’t know what to do! The Voice said: Go west young man. Go west to Hollywood and become a movie star. I said: No, I just want to go home to my wife and kids. Then I thought, I must have a fever and am out of my mind, I’m not married and I don’t have any kids. You say go to Hollywood and become a movie star? Which way do I go from here?
Well as you may have guessed, I never got there. I was in bed and had been soaked with a bucket full of ice cold water. I was wrong again, I must have been married, that or I was in someone else’s bed. But I jumped up out of that wet bed and went to find a towel to dry with.
I could smell hot coffee and bacon and I found my way to the kitchen. Couldn’t find my clothing and just had a towel wrapped around myself. A figure stood by a cook stove, But I couldn’t recognize who it was!
That was when the back door flew open and I Heard this shot from big gun, I dropped to the floor and the next thing I remember was, The sirens of an ambulance, I was on my way to a hospital somewhere.
Then I was put in a bed with my arms and legs tied down. Later four big guys came and put a heavy canvas jacket with straps and buckles, on me so I couldn’t move the upper part of my body. Then they fastened a chain around my ankle and the other end was fastened to a Iron ring that was mounted on the wall, like one you would find in a dungeon of medieval castle. I couldn’t understand why all of this was happening to me, could a female Devil, have kissed me ?
Some time later, like months or maybe it was a year, I was placed on a cold white slab, like one you would find in a mortuary, There were a number of people standing around whispering to each other. Then I felt a sharp pain, like a stab with a sharp instrument , and gas came out like it was being used in a chemical war.
My eyes cleared up and my hearing got a lot better. With a strong voice, I asked, what is going on here, A voice, the same one I heard on page two, paragraph two, said: lay down your are dead. When I heard that, I jumped up and removed that sheet that was covering my body and ran like hell, while they all stood around with their mouths open.
Don’t know if I am dead or alive, but I am still running and trying to find my way home. One thing I did learn, is you can’t drink a full case of beer by yourself, If you do, you will never stop peeeeeeeing!
Please don’t tell anyone that you have seen or saw me or even heard from me! You can stop looking for me, I am feeling no pain and I get around with ease.
Someone tell the Milk man to stop delivering milk and cancel the news paper while you are at it. Just as well put in a clam in for the insurance! Feed the cats and turn out the porch lights. You forgot the one in back!
