Oooooh, no!

An eel.

Our hottest day this summer. Happy families in the river. It’s warm.

An eel swims by. He’s superb at underwater. I depart company over water. A young woman about to enter the water. Instinc . A shriek.

I swim my lengths and depart while the woman is still negotiating terms with Neil the Eel. I am sure they will come to a fluid arrangement.
