A Slight Delay

Somewhere on a planet, here or somewhere else, in a galaxy around us or far,far away, was a shore line. And one day at 8:42A.M. (if time had been invented) a not quite fish hovered at the edge between water and land.

Ah yes indeed, the portents in its shadows were mighty. Evolution has to take a leap at some point, doesn't it? Today a not quite fish, but with eons and eons of descendents leading to a stoke broker or a Reality Show presenter. Which one can imagine is not really that much of a leap.

The not quite fish took what might have been a breath, felt the already overly warm Sun and decided someone else could take the blame for the future. It scuttled off happily in the water, never to be heard from again.
