Fish

This is a Story about a Fish. It is not a Christmas story, even though the events took place on Christmas Eve in 2009.

The Fish had no name and almost no memory. 
The popular myth that Goldfish forget everything every three seconds has been proven wrong by science a while ago. 
This fish, though, had not been informed and he still did all his thinking in lovely three second sequences.
And, since this narrative will continue in his point of view, it might get a bit annoying.

Dear lord! It’s cold. Wait, where am I? What is this?
Snap
Dear lord! It’s cold. Hey! I’m in a bag. 
Snap
Oh look, it’s snowing!
Snap
Wow, I’m moving, okay, panic, panic.
Snap
Dear lord! It’s cold. Wait, where am I? What is this?
Snap
What’s with all the swinging? I’m feeling nauseous.
Snap
Hey, I know this guy next to me from somewhere. Didn’t he feed me once?
Snap
Hey, I’m on a bus. That’s weird; I can’t remember getting on here.
Snap
Who the hell is that guy sitting next to me? Personal space, sir, personal space.
Snap
Hey, I’m on a bus. I wonder where I’m going…
Snap
Oh hey, that guys leaving. Bye bye!
Snap
Wait where am I? What is this?
Snap
Snap
Wasn’t there someone sitting next to me just know? Where did he go?
Snap
Huh, nausea stopped.
Snap
Hey I’m on bus. Are we there yet? Why are we standing still?
Snap
That’s a cool uniform that guy’s wearing. I should get one too.
Snap
Snap
Is that guy coming over to me? … Oh my god! He’s going to grab me!
Snap
Panic! Panic! Stress! Stress!
Snap
Hey look! I’m flying! Wheeeeeeeee!
Snap
Panic! Panic! That’s it, this is the end of me.
Snap
Oh look, it’s snowing!
Snap
What are these uniformed guys saying to each other?
“Yup, that’s a fish all right. What kind of person leaves a fish on the bus?”
“Do I look like I care? My shift’s over. I’m going home.”

Snap
Good lord! It’s cold. Am I going on that bus?
Snap
Oh look, it’s snowing!
Snap
Snap
Crowded here. Are those people going on the bus as well?
Snap
What’s this guy saying?

“Does anybody want a fish? No? Alright then.”

Snap
Hey, I’m moving again. Where is he taking me?
Snap
Panic! Panic! Stress! Stress! I’m moving!
Snap
Oooooh, what a pretty red box.
Snap
Look at me! I’m flying.
Snap
Snap
Hey, no, wait! Don’t drop me! No! Aaaaaah!
Snap
Oh look, it’s snowing!
Snap
Snap
Good lord, it’s cold.
Snap
Wait, where am I? What is this?
Snap
Why is this water getting so hard?
Snap
Hmmm, I’m feeling a little sleepy.
Snap
Snap
Oh look, it’s snowing!

It may seem cruel to many, to die in a garbage bin at a bus stop, but the Fish didn’t mind.
