AN/Summary: Jack had never expected this, when he took some time off to go fishing in his pond. You know what they say though, Fate's a bored 8!7©h. [As am I] CRACKISH, very, very short. Birthday gift to Era.
Disclaimer: I do not own. Heck, I don't even remember most of what happened in the show. This is solely meant as a way to make up for forgetting to buy someone a present.
Eep... did I say that out loud?
A Fishy Tale
Sometimes it was good to be away from everything, Jack mused. Don't misunderstand, he loved his job, but with Daniel's death/ascension, missions from hell and saving the world on a more or less bi-annual basis, life was far too tiresome to not need a break sometimes. Hence why his little fishless fishing pond was perfect. Nice, boring and absolutely problem-free.
A shiver ran down his spine all of a sudden, but he ignored it.
He had sat there for an hour when something actually tugged his line. When he had finally reeled it in Jack stared at his catch in both horror and disbelieve. "For crying out loud", he cried out loud in horror and fervent disbelief. Blinking once, two times, thrice... He blamed it on shock. All in all the catch would have been a good one had it actually been a fish, as it was a remarkably healthy specimen. But he somehow couldn't bring himself to appreciate all its serpentine, four-jawed, glowy-eyed glory. He could swear that after hearing them this much he was able to recognize those hisses as death threats.
Shaking himself out of his stupor he called the SGC, wondering how he was ever going to explain this.
Poor Jack, he should know better than to tempt fate
Somewhere, on a higher plane of existence, the culprit snickered.
