We Have a Winner!

As you look through the booths you decide to play a few, until..

“Ding ding ding! We have a winner!”

You open your eyes, staring in awe at the scoreboard. Wow! You really did it! This was shaping up to be a great day! The game master beams, reaching on the top shelf for your sweet secret prize. Maybe it was a life size stuffed gorilla… or a tv! Or… the keys to a new car! Your heart races as you swoon over this mystery prize. Then, they present to you…

...a goldfish bowl.

You tilt your head. Well… a car seemed a bit far-fetched anyhow. But… wait… where was the fis-

SCHLUP!

You feel your body instantly compact into a tight sphere, held inside by the confines of the glass bowl! You wriggle around, trying to call for help, or even say “ow”! But alas, your face is completely pressed against the transparent glass. The game master lifts your bowl back up, studying you with a quizical expression.

“Well… I’m not sure what kind of fish you’re supposed to be… maybe we’ll just mark you under ‘Exotic’!”

He places you back on the shelf… scribbling a new label on the side of your glass: “EXOTIC GOLDFISH! 500 POINTS! ONE OF A KIND PRIZE!”

Things could be worse… you could’ve ended up as bait!

Something's Fishy!
