Watre Wonders

so during this thunderstorm, lightning struck my pond.
i went down there after the rain to see if anything was alive.
usually there are all kinds of frogs and fish and small life.
but it was dead quiet. the rain had washed the rowboat off the shore halfway.
so i lifted it up and this black fucking ferret lookin thing sticks its head out.
it panicked when it saw me, and half scurried half dove INTO THE WATER.
the only conclusion i came to is that there's now an Otter in my pond, living under the boat.
