Spoilers: None


Trapped.

Grabbed.

Betrayed!

Hands pulling.

Desperately trying to breathe.

Easy Don, don't hurt him!

No! Too hot! Too dry!

I'm trying, Dad!

Struggling to return to the cool depths. Away from the harsh light.

This way, just a couple of steps.

No - oh no - Too hot. Too dry. Heat death! Leave me alone!

Easy, Buddy, we're trying to help, you!

Release! Release!

Careful, Donnie! Don't let him hit his head!

The net draws tighter. Flailing muscles have no power.

*Sigh of relief* There, I'm glad that's over!

Over? Safe? Dead?

Cool relief. Safe!

Thanks, Don, Dad! Now you can see why I needed help to get one of the koi to the vet's!

Oops! Do me a favor and edit your subject line, please? Title by Author (Challenge) Thanks! *g*

Also, I'm wondering how to tag this. Main character: Koi? *g*

I fixed the subject line. Sorry about that.

Thanks for the kind words! This sort of leaped into my brain, not sure where it came from.

As for Main Character ... Eppes? Extremely Hot Guys?

[spikedluv]

No problem. *g* Thanks for fixing it.
