Once on a Skewer

When the eels slide by I am reminded of that day at the fair. Do you remember our last trip before we came here? I made that dare in front of the booth and the old man behind us said I should be the first to try. They made an 'S' on the skewer, like a dollar sign, and we each took a bite at the same time. It was disgusting, but I pretended it was the best thing since peppermints. I feel sorry for them now. You thought they looked like they were still alive, but once on a skewer nothing lives for long.

Found this scribbled in one of my journals. As for what it is about...? Your guess is as good as mine. All I can remember about it was that they were living in some underwater city. From where this left off I'm guessing it wasn't a happy place.
