Before br I opened my mouth br I noticed them sitting there br as orderly as frozen fish br in a package. br br Slowly water began to fill the room br though I did not notice it br till it reached br my ears br br and then I heard the sounds br of fish in an aquarium br and I knew that though I had br tried to drown them br with my words br that they had only opened up br like gills for them br and let me in. br br Together we swam around the room br like thirty tails whacking words br till the bell rang br br puncturing br a hole in the door br br where we all leaked out br br They went to another class br I suppose and I home br br where Queen Elizabeth br my cat met me br and licked my fins br till they were hands again.br br D.
