Greatwater Lake The Hanging Tree

"Life sometimes, my dear, is highly unfair, but you make it worth for a while. I thank you for your concern he spoke, when she joined him in the water. He was not that rude to just abruptly change subjects, but she could understand, if she made the effort to. He did not move then, remaining perfectly still , an eye on the water and any movement. Fishes were sneaky to get, especially when you were waiting on them.

It took a couple of minutes before he saw the shimmering of scales. His body tensed, like a bow ready to fire. Focused on the prey, he waited, and waited, then shot for it. Head first into the water , teeth ready to grab. He managed to catch it in extremis by the tale and lifted his head.  The fish was literally bitch slapping him as he got back to the bank and moved his head several time near a rock, so the fish hit it until it lost consciousness. He then let it go and shook himself from the water.
