I bait the hook and toss my line.
Pluksh! goes the sinker.
I look down at my feet into my bucket full of fish. They’re really biting tonight. In fact...
Yep!
I crank the reel. Look at that—another one!
I drop the fish into the bucket and re-apply the hearty bait to my hook.
I think of how that bastard Frankie said I would never catch anything in these waters.
I toss my line.
“Useless pig,” I mutter to myself, still thinking of Frankie.
I realise quickly that statement’s a lie. He’s pretty darn useful as bait.
