My Parent's Catfish is Trying to Take Over the World

By Icka! M. Chif

My parent's catfish is trying to take over the world.

I'm serious! Stop laughing! Everybody laughs when I tell them and it's not funny! It's not!

Y'see, it all started when my parents got their place tented for flying wood-munching insects. Me, being the helpful person I am, offered to keep their fish at my place.

Bad idea.

The catfish is EVIL. With a capitol 'E'. I think it was an evil magician who tried to take over the world at some point and got turned into a fish as punishment. The other fish are normal, at least as far as I can tell. They still act kinda weird... or maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Or they are...

I mean, it couldn't be all that easy living with to live with an evil catfish who's always trying to take over the world, right? That would explain why they're so jittery... wouldn't it?

I covered the whole tank up with a blanket so I wouldn't have to look at them anymore. The catfish kept staring at me, it was seriously weirding me out. Ever been in a staring contest with fish before? You'll lose every time.

Fish don't have eyelids.

I can still hear them though... Tanks and fish aren't supposed to make those kinds of noises. I know he's making them on purpose too, so I can't sleep. He knows I know his plans and is trying to drive me crazy so I won't let anyone in on his dastardly plan!

Well, it's too late! You're reading this, aren't you?

Here come my brothers now to take the deamon spawn, I mean, fish tank home. Darn things look happy to leave too. I could swear the catfish is grinning at me as they lug it out.

Good riddance.

I don't really care that he's going to be able to plot to take over world from their house now. Just as long as it's away from my house.

Besides, they have cats there...

Fin.
