In the air was a fishy smell, mixed in with chocolate from the Reese's Pieces I had just swallowed. In the background was the humming of the boat motor, and the peaceful sound of the waves lapping against the boat. I had just pulled in my fishing line to check it, and what I saw was bizarre. My first thought was to make a wish, as a star with five points had fallen out of the heavens. The star was the same color as the sun setting at the end of another busy day. As I unhooked the huge starfish, it felt course, and reminded me of sandpaper. As I throw the starfish back into the muddy sea, I said a prayer... That this fish would not become rare, and that someday I would be back to share this moment with another generation.
