A heartbreaking story with a bleak outlook! You vividly capture the struggles and determination of the young boys to secure fish for their family's survival. It's a harsh reality to work long hours for meager pay and then arrive at the lake to find their source of food and money dead.
I wonder what caused the death of the fish. How will their community survive? I think this shows how fragile life is—one day, everything looks alright and the next, it changes! Palpable and well-written. I wish you a wonderful day. !LADY
