April 26, 2018, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a fish tale. It can be about fishing from any angel, about those who fish, or what might be caught. Go where the prompt leads.
The angel looked down on the row of men, each with a pole, each with a line extending into the water.
One man pulled in his line and on the end was a wriggling beast the man removed and dropped into a bucket at his feet.
Inquiring he was told they were fishing. It was an earthly pastime, and people found it relaxing.
The angel thought it looked easy and taking the pole from a sleeping man cast the line in. From the water came a rush of swine fish reminding him of his ability to cast out swine.

I see what you mean about the confused prompt word, Michael! Still… it fit your prompt!
Thanks Ritu.
Amusing, Michael. Well done.
Thanks so much Norah.
Well done! 🙂
Thanks Bette.
Ha, ha! That’s the perfect set-up, Michael. You hooked me with your final line.
Thanks so much Charli, I’m pleased I got in before you changed ‘angels’ to ‘angles’. Angels are much more fun than angles.
Ha, ha!!! I like the angels angle better. A fellow Aussie pointed out the error of my line… 😀
