A strong clawed paw ripped the salmon out of his watery bliss. The terrified salmon felt the grizzly's knife-like claws slashing through his thick, muscular side. The salmon flipped with all it's might and for a brief second came loose of the monster's grasp. At the second powerful swipe, the salmon felt itself being lifted from the crisp spring water. Although it struggled greatly, The salmon could not free itself once again from the bear's cartilage-crushing grip. The grizzly's sharp teethe ripped through soft flesh, tearing a considerable chunk from his reluctant meal.
With the new pain, the salmon leaped even more vigorously. When the many toothed jaw clamped onto his scull, however, he knew the end was near. He had no chance of survival. His leisurely life of swimming upstream and back, was over. The salmon no longer struggled. He lost the will to live. Now all he could do was cling to his last hope. The hope of being reincarnated as a bear.
