it is a sad day when you come home from work to no fish. yesterday my beloved, beautiful lucifer merlyn died. im ashamed to say i could have saved him. day after day i watched him struggle to swim and starve himself by not eating his fish food. i thought he'd pull through but on sunday i decided it was time for me to get him some medicine... the only problem was it was the sabbath. "just hold on one more night little lucy" i told him. this morning i awake to a dead fish. i tear up a little and then flush him down the toilet. goodbye lucifer. later this evening zachary and i hosted a wonderful funeral. we put a pebble from his bowl in a box and ashley (his godmother) and i wrote some touching speeches.
After a magnificent ceremony we gently tossed the box into the river. you will be missed merlyn. R.I.P.
