Today's #flashfiction No Such Thing As A Free Lunch

 “Don't overcomplicate things.”
Rube-Goldberg* #quote

Today I contemplated the secrets of the universe. They asked me to stop. Anyway onto the flash fiction!

No Such Thing As A Free Lunch


        “That is not normal prey. Something's off...” Fineas the bass said while him and his friend circled the suspicious food near the surface.
         His friend, Willy slowly neared the prey. “Nah, it's just some near dead food, something that's aged away. Easy pickings.”
         Fineas went further towards the bottom of the lake. “Nothin' is this easy. Even the dying don't wiggle that still.”
         Willy shot up to the prey at the surface. “You worry too much Fineas! That's why I'm getting an easy meal!”

          And so Willy took a bite of the worm and Fred the fisherman on the dock reeled Willy in.
