Our first grade class was on a field trip at some nature preserve. There was a duck pond, and all the kids were issued a handful of corn to feed the ducks. Suddenly, a huge catfish breached the surface and swallowed this little duckling. You can imagine the hysteria it caused. Whenever I’m swimming in a river, lake, or ocean, that memory always surfaces. So, in a metaphorical sense, I’m still stuck in the jaws of the leviathan.
I hope you got away.

I would probably never go swimming again. I’ll bet all those kids remember that.

I ran into a guy from the old neighborhood a few years ago. We sat down for a few at the bar and the duckling story came up.
