I studied my surroundings after I woke from my slumber. The last thing I could remember was swimming around in my little pond. It was small and had no outlet to the sea, but it was home. I figured I would stay there with my Magikarp brothers. How wrong I must have been. I do not know how, but I awoke in a small cage.

I was not sure what to asume by this. Humans perhaps brought me here, but I can not concieve why. I thought to myself. I knew I had to escape. I thought back to my training back in the pond. I used the most powerful move I could muster. Unfortunately my Splash attack seemed to be ineffective. I didn't even seem to shake the cage I was in.

The air seemed hard to breathe to me. Of course, being a fish, air is already hard to breathe. I thought back to my previous attempt to escape. I thought to myself, I must escape. I yet again unleashed the most elegant and powerful move I knew. I released upon the cage another helping of my Splash attack.

I was dissapointed that it seemed to be of no effect. I mustered all of my strength. I unleashed my ultimate move! With great exertion I released my Splash attack one final time. I was thrown into despair as my final attempt had failed. I breathed heavily, for that last Splash attack drew a lot of my energy.

I layed there on my side drowning in my Self-Pity. Then something miraculous happened! The cage door opened itself. The way was open to me! I mustered the strength to flop from my cage. I landed on cement with a thud. I tried to look around as best I could, but I could not see the hero that had liberated me from my doom.

I flopped onward taking very frequent breaks. The air was not easy on me and neither was gravity. I flopped onward panging onto the concrete and back up into the air and into the concrete. After what seemed a long while I came across a door that I asumed was built by humans. The massive thing stood open. The doorway seemed inviting, but something seemed to be hanging from a wall of the human cave. It appeared like an eye of some kind, it moved back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, and it seemed as if it would never stop. I stared at it, and it never seemed to look directly at me. I guessed it could not see me. I glanced back at my cage. It was just on the other side of the room and elevated from the floor. I knew there was no going back. I had to move behind its view somehow. I watched it some more, and as soon as it was heading back to look in the other direction. I leapt into the air and flipped and flopped out of its sight.

I was tired but knew I could not stay here. My bright orange scales would reveal my prescence to anything that I would come across. I flopped along exerting myself. I had to stop, for I was short of breath. I breathed in the air. I was wishing I was underwater. It would be much easier to breath then. I trudged onward down a hall. I hoped I would find some cover. I could let my heart slow, and my muscles could unburden themselves.
