i know what you're thinking...now he's going to talk about his favorite beer battered fish fry recipe served hot with salty fries and extra cold, cheap beer. friends sitting around the kitchen table after a long week of work. june bugs banging on the back porch screen door as evening turns to night and the scent of pine trees lingers in the air.
but you'd be wrong. that's not the topic. friday is the day to remember to tell your children the bedtime story about the mean fish lurking along the tall grassy shallows of fishbone lake. perfectly camouflaged and moving slowly through the edges of shadow. sharp teeth gleaming. red eyes searching. he's highly protective of his territory so be careful and don't forget about him. otherwise he might get you.
now go to sleep.
