I recently killed my fish. It was an accident, of course, but nevertheless, it does not lessen my pain. This post is in his honor.
He was a simple fish, but of course he had his complications. Don't we all? Every day upon awaking and finding him gazing into my eyes from his post on my little bedside table to feed him a handful of fish food and converse avidly about our plans for the day. His crazy googly eyes would reassure me in a time of despair. It was cruel for him to die from being over-fed.
However, it was brilliant while it lasted. Best week of my life.
For Swimmer, my wettest friend. You will be missed.
