You left and I never came back


I do not come the same way that most do. The Blood Falls are not a place I am intimately familiar with, but they are a water source and thus a home for comfort. I am in a deeper part of the falls, allowing the water to wash over my aching spine and support my hindquarters, when I first hear the commotion. Voices in the distance and a stirring in the water as smaller fish move out of the way of something larger. Something very large.

My golden eyes narrow with curiousity as I watch, but I wait some time before moving. I recognize this scene: the mysterious creature, the egg that it guards, and the hungry crowd seeking it are all too familiar to me. And once again I find myself feeling anxious and unfit for whatever role I am meant to be cast in. What am I meant to perform for this mother fish as they all call her, for the hungry eyes that seek the egg in the water? Hazlenuts are swept onto the shore and I cut through the red-bottomed lake at a slow and unsteady pace. I watch as some eat the hazlenuts without question, but I don't trust enough in nature to do the same. Life has hurt me before, and one too many times.

No, I decide that I'll wait. Unable to speak to the fish, not wishing to move closer to the egg, and still taking comfort by standing in the water, I watch the others and wait to see what effect the hazlenut has on their impatient souls.
