THE SPECIAL FISH 2

It is another season of fishing in the coastal city of

Plymouth

, in the south west

United Kingdom

, I and my friends did not only witnessed it, but we also participated again in the competition. As usual, the demand of the competition states that whoever catches the biggest fish will emerge the winner and will have the GOLDEN HOOK and FISH.

Before the competition commenced, I went into the cloak room to change to my Fishing Costume, suddenly an Angel appeared to me, and she was very beautiful and more beautiful even in her smile that dazzles a lot. Guess what? She was carrying an aquarium that also dazzles. After sometime, I looked closely into the aquarium and saw a fish of many colours that looks like the one catch in the previous festival! Oh I mean The Special Fish. I asked her, “is this not the fish I caught last season that I let go?” She sighed and smiled at me. I was about touching her, and then she suddenly disappeared. I quickly changed to my costume and ran out of the cloak room. I got back to the seaside to join the rest, and then the game started.

As I threw my hook into the ocean, the same Angel appeared to me again, but I was the only one seeing her; no one else. She dropped the fish of many colours into the sea, and I deeped my hand into the sea and brought it out, and I also admired it for a long time, then when it was five minutes to the end of the game, I threw it afar into the sea again so that I can catch a bigger one, but it swam back to me and the final whistle was blown, so I took it and dropped it into my aquarium.

It was time for the presentation of our catch; the rest of the contestants presented theirs and they all receive applauses from audience and passersby. But when it was time for my own, Cyril told me not to mind whatever people say and that I should close my ears to criticism and antagonism if I want to move on. So I brought it with courage and went to present mine. People mocked me and there were many antagonists. So I felt ashamed, turned backed n tears thinking the fish of many colours had brought me bad luck. But I was wrong in my thought, as Judges called me back to join the selected five to make six runners ups. So it was time for the scaling of the fish, others put theirs and the highest scale measured”20 KG” and my heart beats, was discouraged thinking I had lost the game, but fortune came smiling at me as the Angel appeared the third time, smiling and telling me to go ahead and scale weighed “25.55KG”  and I was flabbergasted, there was a moment silent, the next moment, I shouted for Joy the Angel smiled and disappeared, the next minute, I received the greatest applaud ever from the audience as they commented my courage as well as my fortune. And next, I emerged as the winner and I went home with the GOLDEN HOOK and FISH. And my special fish, I kept it back in the aquarium and took it home. I and my hommies made merry till dawn of the next day. The special fish was meant for me, which was why it swam back to me, even after I threw it afar.

And as for the Angel, she visited me in person, I knew it was her the moment I opened the door and saw her eyes. And guess what? I fell in love with her from that first day I saw her in person. She compromised her immortality just for the sake of my love for her. Anyway sha!!! God Understands. Abioooooooo.
