His footsteps echoed eerily as he ran down them. He’d been on the run for what felt like days. He felt naked, his tattered, sweat-drenched tunic clinging to his body, especially under his breastplate. Fatigue had caused him to discard his body amour.

For the sake of his own mental health he had temporarily removed Hot Stuff Blend from the menu. The city was home to Atro City University, which taught everything from algebra and make-up application to advanced stamp collecting; and it was also home to the planet-famous bounty hunter – Beck the Badfeller. Beck was a legend in his own lifetime. If Deanna had any folklore, then Beck the Badfeller was one of its main features. He was the local version of Robin Hood, the Davy Crockett of Deanna.

Cocka-snoek were wily and tough and rather too bright for mere fish. You wouldn’t catch much with a rod around here. Many inexperienced visitors would find the bait stolen from their hooks, which punctuated the discovery that their lines had somehow got snagged and tangled irretrievably around some underwater obstruction – sometimes tied together with neat little bows. Often, several direct hits with hand grenades were needed to stun the creatures long enough just to catch them, gut them and fry them, but these former military types had become experts at it. For a modest fee, tours could be arranged via the booking office, which included an overnight stay on the banks of the river where one could drop off to a great night’s sleep after a satisfying meal of cocka-snoek done on an open fire, and the sound the bits of shrapnel made rattling in your stomach.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Christina Engela" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/christina-engela/for-the-gaming-fishermen-there-was-the-whatoosie-river-and-its-native/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1e1/christina-engela-8737_an_for-the-gaming-fishermen-there-was-the-w_3199587.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1e1/christina-engela-8737_an_for-the-gaming-fishermen-there-was-the-w_3199587.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1e1/christina-engela-8737_an_for-the-gaming-fishermen-there-was-the-w_3199587.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“For the gaming fishermen there was the Whatoosie River and its native cocka-snoek, the main game fish of the…” — Christina Engela", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 13, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“It did occur to him that perhaps he’d gone to the wrong Academy – the guys in the Space Fleet always had more interesting stories to tell at the spaceport bars.
