DOWN IN THE DEEP Story and illustrations by BRADEN KRAUSE

Down in the deep there was a fish that was feared by many. Only a few fish were friends. This fish’s name was Devin. Here is a picture of Devin.

The light squiggle around him is a horrible odor. This was the main reason people feared him. Even his friends stayed their distance. But they had gotten used to it. His friends were Shane, Lolgi, and Mitchell. Here is what they look like. It’s by order from above.

When Devin was about 4 years old he came across this fish that he thought was funny and fearful like him. This person was Shane. He was a little creped out, but became close friends with Devin. Now, 2 years later, these 2 trouble makers came along and found a cute, but mean fish. They were shocked but liked her so much. So they went and met her. She thought they were adorable. They asked her, “Would you…..” “Yes, I would.” So they went off. The threesome was perfect, but they couldn’t help them themselves to ask a lonely fish to be their friend. This fish was Mitchell. By the way, the girl fish is Lolgi. Each creature had its own personality. Devin was the dark fish and lived in the Dark Nation. Shane was the electric fish. He lived in the Electricity Nation. Lolgi was an air kind of fish. She lived in the Air Nation. Yes, it’s in the water. Last, Mitchell was a flame fish. He lived in the Fire Nation. Each fish could only survive in its own nation or the open water. The 4 obviously played in the open water. On the next page is a map of the sea. It will help you understand the story and is easy to read. Make sure to look sideways. **ENJOY!**

Now that you’ve looked at my fine picture, let’s get back to the foursome. So now when the 4 were a feared gang, Devin was 9, Shane was 8, so was Lolgi, and Mitchell was 6. The young one but still the “//hot”// one. So one day when they met at their meeting area Shane said, “Let’s go look at my house, it’s right on the bay.” After a few hour argument, they decided to go. On the way there Mitchell noticed a friend from the Fire Nation about to swim into the Electricity Nation. OOO! Not a pretty sight. Ashes everywhere. Even the janitors were grossed out. So the years passed, and the 4 had adventures so wild they couldn’t believe their own eyes. One day as Mitchell was swimming to the meeting area, he saw a pretty enormous fish getting shot out of a cannon on the Dark Nation Island. Mitchell swam off into the direction of the fish. He then found some huge bubbles on the East side of the Fire Nation. He must have flown right over the Fire Nation thought Mitchell. Mitchell then swam deeper and found Devin just sitting there alone. “That was wicked,” said Devin without noticing Mitchell. “You didn’t,” replied Mitchell. “Oh! Hey Mitchell.” “Why did you do that?” “Just for fun of course.” Mitchell never thought about that. The 2 then decided to explore the human part of the sea since they were so close. In about 3:41 they saw an object. Devin remarked, “My dad told me about these. He said they were called… ummm, a sub sandwich. Yea it’s long and round and humans use it like a ship. But it goes all the way under the water. “That makes since,” replied Mitchell. They swam closer and closer until an eye appeared in a hole. Devin mentioned, “My dad also told me that the humans ware fish tanks so they can breath. Why don’t they just grow gills? On the next page is a picture of Devin’s dad. You might see some similarities between the 2. Don’t be surprised, he’s a nice guy.

Now that Devin and Mitchell were quite a few hundred miles away, they decided to attack the humans and ride the sub sub sandwich back to the meeting area. They attacked from the 2 sides. Mitchell burned the metal and Devin chewed it open and spit it out and knocked out 2 humans. Mitchell turned 3 humans to ashes and threw the other 2 out. As they were riding back, a fish from the Fire Nation got a glimpse of them and spread the news saying that Devin and Mitchell were riding into town in a sub sandwich. By the time they reached the boundaries it was like a parade. Every citizen lined up on 2 different sides to make a little path for them to ride on. It led right to the meeting area and there was Shane, Lolgi, and Devin’s dad, Earl. The first to talk was Earl. “What were you thinking?” Shane could only say, “Wo!” So Mitchell and Devin told the story about the sub sandwich and became sea heroes. After other heroic events, which I’ll explain in a minute, there became cities and towns within the nations. Now you’ll understand why they’re on the map. A day and 4 minutes past and this gruesome looking fish came passing by with 96 other fish behind him. He announced that he was Chip and he and his crew were building a nation between the Fire Nation and the Dark Nation. It was finished 3 days, 13 hours, and 52 minutes later. It was just as big as the Dark Nation Island. They named it Poison Nation. You could see why by their looks. They didn’t seem to be bad people; it’s just the way they looked. It made Devin and Earl look handsome and normal. They found out Chip was the leader of the fish and this is what he looked like.

Well one day it almost seemed as if the humans had a plan to take over the fishy sea. It first started in the Fire Nation. A large wooden ship had made it into the fish area of the sea. Mitchell wouldn’t allow this to happen so he called up Devin, Shane, and Lolgi. They had there own problems. Devin was facing an invisible human who reappeared every 10 seconds. Shane was protecting his nation by bombs coming from the sea top. Lolgi was fighting off jet planes coming from nowhere. Last, not that you would care or anything, but Chip was surprisingly being surrounded by old, dead, and crippled people that were risen from the dead. So Mitchell was on his own and the same with the others. Now you’ll see an illustration of these acts in a view if you were a fish living down there.

So they had a problem. We’ll start with Mitchell and how he solved his problem. He thought, if fire burns wood … so Mitchell burnt the ship. The humans were freaked out and jumped out the ship and went suicide. A few minutes later the ship sunk, so even if they didn’t die, the ship would have probably finished them off... To celebrate, Mitchell ate at Eat Here: the most famous restaurant in the nation. It’s held on the shore right where the shipwreck took place. Now we change the story over to Devin with the case of Mr. Secret. Some even say he’s invisible. Devin didn’t believe that, he knew the guy (most likely a guy) was playing tricks on him. He figured out that the human was always following behind him. Devin then decided to swim as fast as he could towards a rock and at the last second swim up. Humans aren’t the best at swimming up. **KABOOM!!** The human hit the rock head first. Devin tore him to shreds and had a delicious dinner. Now we’ll head to the Poison Nation with the freaky dead people. This was probably the easiest job of them all. All Chip had to do, was inject poison into them and they would die for the second time. 3 down 2 to go. Thanks to Shane, the Electricity Nation got a second 4th of July. As the bombs fell from the shore, Shane had to shoot spikes back at them. **BOOM**! There were more ooo’s and ahhh’s then groans and moans. So eventually the humans ran out of bombs and now the pressure is on Lolgi to finish and save the day. (WARNING- THIS NEXT STUNT IS something YOU SHOULD NEVER TRY. NOT EVEN AT HOME.) She hopped into one of the jets and drove it into another one. She hopped out and 2 planes were in flames. But soon went out considering this was in the water. (The rest of these stunts you may try. Even at home.) 2 jets were left. Lolgi grabbed one by the wing and flung it at the other. “My work here is done”. The Air Nation also had plenty to eat. Each jet contained 1,001 people. So all together that’s 4,004 people. I should have said it from the start; these 4 were born to be heroes. As they became elders, they decided to swim to the shore and see what kind of adventure they would discover. Mitchell was the first to hop out. A seagull immediately swept down and had a fish dinner. He burned a hole in his belly and jumped out. But he went through this process multiple times and then ran out of fire. At least for the time he did live it was good. Shane then jumped back into the water. He saw a worm dangling a little way off. He wanted some lunch so he ate it but was then was caught by a hook. It was a said sight. He went captive to a few [not normal] sailors. Devin also hopped back into the water to inhale some fresh water. He noticed that Lolgi hadn’t came back down in the water so he went back ashore and found her lying there dead. Before you could blink an eye, a nice little girl appeared. “Hi there little cutie.” She scooped Devin up and dropped him in a water bucket and jogged back home. To tell you the truth she wasn’t the prettiest. She had metal head ware; glasses that made her look dorky, red hair, sadly a unibrow, and knock-kneed legs. As she ran in the door, there it was, a fishes worst nightmare… the fish tank.
