Nicodemus A Fluke Journey

. Suddenly I heard a splash upon the water. Again I became aware of my surroundings. I noticed the ripples moving from side to side. Startled, I look around, the sound of the night creatures still in rhythm and undisturbed. Again the splash, I turn my head to see the ripples working their way toward the shore. I began to concentrate on the center of the ripples, surveying the surrounding area with my peripheral vision. There! Brightly colored, beneath the moonlight, a fish brilliant with red and aqua scales. It leaped into the reeds and a flash of light began to head toward me. The rainbow colored fish leaped frantically in its quest to devour the light. To my amazement I ducked as the light zipped past me. Looking up, it is gone and the pond begins to calm once again. Sitting up startled by what had just happened my mind searches for answers as my eyes scan eagerly for the light. Did I hear something as the light headed for me? I’m not sure but I am curious. As I gave thought to the moment I believed I heard what seemed to be a whisper, yet turning I saw nothing. My mind wonders, searching for a logical explanation. The wind has ceased yet the creatures of the night sing on.
