Bait

Tantalized, the fish scurries towards the bait as the sunshine streaks down its shiny scales, reflecting its opponents working towards the same goal. Determined, the fish increases its speed, surpasses others, and reaches the prize. Fooled, the fish is hooked, pulled above the ocean, dries, and dies. Like the boring structure and description, many seek for needless shallow desires that gradually segues to death. Until the moment some die, they still do not realize the insignificance of their targets, and live along according to their simple pleasures. An innate luxury? Perhaps so.
