Pet shrimp

I'm in shallowly flooded backyard. The backyard is flooded because of the frog vivariums I'm keeping there. I see a shrimp and it occurs to me it's unusual to see a freshwater shrimp. I pick it up looking for a container to put it in. As I don't know what it eats, I resolve to keep it in water collected from the lawn. I see tiny swimming animals and wonder if any are shrimp of the same species which may breed with my shrimp.

As I'm looking for a container, a young couple drives up. I hide behind a fence, not wanting them to see what I'm doing because I don't want to explain it. I eventually find a fiberglass bucket type of thing which I've affixed a shirt to with tar. As I'm peeling the shirt off, the backyard becomes a video game I forgot I was playing. A gigantic dinosaur character appears and in the game, I throw many tiny animals at it to try to kill it. One animal makes a relatively small hole in it and I hope the hole gets infected and kills the dinosaur.
