Last Best Fishin’ Tale Part 6
 by Phill Senters, Aug 17, 2009

  He raised his arms and  suddenly we were in another part of my future………..

  I found myself standing in a place that looked very familiar, and it took a few seconds to recognize the it. It was the little pond where all this had started. Where all I’d wanted was to try out my new fishing ro…..

  “I see you haven’t forgotten this place,” my grandson said behind me.

  “How could I forget?” I asked “I was here just yesterday, the first time I saw Ka….or rather, Catherine. How come you call her Kate anyway? ..she told me her name is Catherine.”

 ”Either one is fine,” he replied “Catherine is her name, but we just call her Kate for short. And  that yesterday you’re talking about was thirty years ago in your time line. The year now is 2009, when a lot of things begin to happen, and it’s a critical time for our mission.”

 ”Exactly what is this mission?” I asked “And how come you think I can help you with it?”

 ”Our mission is to prevent  my other great, great grandfather from engaging in the original experiments that eventually lead to the creation of the most deadly virus that man has ever encountered. Here in 2009, he is about to start the experiments which will lead to the end of the human race as we know it. I’d like to show you some of the results of those experiments.”

  He raised his arm again, and this time we were suddenly on a street corner surrounded by hundreds of people who had faces that looked more pig-like than human. They grunted and pushed each other, Then one of them shoved me down and grabbed me by the arm and started chewing on my throat with huge hideous hog like teeth, and as the darkness enclosed  around me I could feel the blood flowing from my body.

  “Wake up! Phill! Wake up!” It my girlfriend shouting and shaking me by the arm. “What an awful dream you must’ve been having, you were thrashing all around and making noises like a pig.”

 Damn! What a nightmare! I never want to see THAT fishin’ hole again! All I ever wanted was to try out my new fishin’ rod…………….
