Sushi

The fish swam in the warm , dark blue ocean . Far . Away .
It wants to vanish from all the others . Disappear . Adventure .
It was independent , free to swim all day long . Alone . Happy .
The fish never stopped for anything . Swimming . Lively .
Suddenly , the fish was trapped . Stuck . Confused .
The trap , yanked up violently . Scared . Devastated .
Pulled out of the water , the fish felt the cold air . Terrified . Pain .
Staring into the bright sky from inside a bucket . Fear . Confusion .
The last thing it saw : a chef . Professional . Irony .
Fish , now a roll of sushi .
