What about desserts? I asked. If the world comes to an end, I'm going to want cookies. We're all going to want cookies if the world comes to an end, Mrs. Nesbitt agreed. And chips and pretzels.

When I'm in the water I feel as though nothing bad has happened. I think about the fish, how they don't know what's going on. Their world is unchanged. Actually it's probably better now to be a tuna or a sardine or a salmon. Less chance of ending up as somebody's lunch.
