I'm back!!! Yay! I arrived back home at night 2 days ago. I would have updated SOMETHING, had it not been for exhaustion, and homework.

I have a huge sunburn on my neck and shoulders! :( But it doesn't hurt too bad. :)

I sighed. It's already been a few hours into the day, and I needed to leave soon.

Just as I was about to swim away, I noticed the fish swimming frantically away from me.

Confused, I looked around. There shouldn't be anything to frighten them, and they can't be afraid of me. I did nothing to scare them... other then eating that fish a little while ago.

I turned around, still unable to comprehend just what exactly frightened the sea life around me. That is, until my surrounding seamed to darken.

I looked up. Eyes wide, and heart suddenly pumping, I see a net, large and intimidating, spread out above me.

As swiftly as I could, I swam away.

It was too late.

Before I could even reach the edges of the net, it's weight laid down on me, pushing me down.

I struggled to move, but the more I moved, the more I got tangled in the lengthy ropes of the net.

My fins were being uncomfortably crushed and my arms twisted through the holes and wrapped in the net. I was caught, and there was no way of escaping.

How did I not even sense the net when it entered the waters?

In frustration and desperation, I began chewing at the ropes. It was a slow process, however, I hope that whoever was currently fishing, was dumb enough to forget about the net.

Much to my dismay, 20 minutes later of chewing and no progress, the nets are already being pulled up. By now, several other fish and sea life have gotten stuck.

As the net is being pulled towards the surface, more and more fish are captured. It not only gives me more time to chew through and escape due to the growing weight, but it also provides a cover if I end up above water.

It seemed hours had passed before the warm air under the hot sun hit my skin in heated waves.

I wiggled about as I heard humming from on the boat. I couldn't escape, and that humming was starting to annoy me.

"They tried to put me on the cover..."

I ignored the rest and continued my failed attempts at escaping.

Roughly, I fell and, as hoped for, I became covered in all the fish caught in the net.

With the fisherman busy getting all the breathless fish off the net and into the cooler below deck, I shimmied my way closer to the edge of the boat.
