ErikaRobin's Journal

Delusions of grandeur.

Steve, the beloved Betta and aquatic acrobat, has met his untimely end.  His lifeless body was found this morning resting on the painted gravel at the bottom of his bowl.  He looked so peaceful...upside down...

I suspected foul play until I found this written in the algae on the side of the bowl.

To whom it may concern,

     By the time you read this, I will be gone.  I cannot face another day of this monotony.  Swim here.  Swim there.  Swim here again.

*sigh*

     My habitat has become a cesspool.  It's disgusting.  I can no longer find the one who looks just like me.  He's been missing for days and I can't stand it any longer.  I can't take the loneliness, the isolation.   I'm giving up.  I'm going to just.  Stop.  Swimming.  

     Take my remains to the porcelain pool and send me back to Neptune. 

                                       Sincerely,

                                       Steve

I will miss the journals, and the eulogies as well.

Sorry, Erika, for your loss.  Do we send flowers or bake casseroles for this sort of occasion?

When is the funeral?  Is there a foundation set up to send donations?
