As I recall, they actually made little peeping sounds... I must be making that up - ? Anyway, medieval sure sounds right to me...

Now you've got me thinking - wonder how long he (she?) was on ice parading around the restaurant and whether there was a certain special un-lucky who he or she left behind. But then I digress, because the spirit of your rescue mission is what inspires! See you on another flight to LA perhaps? ;-) Mindy Love the spontaneity and sense of indignation on behalf of Lucky, the underdog (or shall we say, under-lobster).

I was right there with you {In spirit} during your story. Which is why you are my favorite writer. It's been awhile since I have been active on your awesome blog. {I DID just turn 50, you know!} Anyway, great post. As usual. Now, where did those damn crab claws go....

What do I do now? Lobster is my favorite food in the world! Good thing you don't live where I am. What would Lucky do in the desert? :) Oh, Ann, you made me feel badly for Lucky. What do I do now?

The suffering that this lobster is now enduring is worse than purgatory. He is wondering in his mind what could have possible succumbed him to this fate. He is wondering if it was that curse that the shrimp put on him or that bad night in Northern Maine when he left the girl lobster on the shelf without so much as a thank you. He is running through his mind now as he sits twitching at the bottom of the harbor. Fast forward as he has his last breaths floating and rotting as he washes ashore and a small child runs up and pokes him in the eye with a stick and laughs. We call that "Market Price."
