im not kidding, its not too late to turn back. i would not want to read this if i didnt have to.
last night i accidentally killed my goldfish.
so melanie and i bought two little fishies from this charity carnival on the weekend and we were just getting to know them and i was gonna go buy a new bowl and a castle for them today...but maybe the small bowl will be enough now.
because last night their water looked really dirty so i decided to clean it and im a dumbass and i wasnt careful enough and the little one slipped out and went down the drain...omg im gonna start crying again. when i saw that flash of orange my heart stopped. it was saved by the little metal cross in there and i thought i could still get it so i put my fingers in but it was just flopping around so much...oh god...and then it flipped really fast and went into the slot in the side of the pipe. i kept trying to get it out but i think i was so frantic i wasnt helping at all. and it just wouldnt stop moving!! finally it was out of reach. i kept checking and jumping around hoping it would flip back so i could grab it, but the slot was too small and my fingers were too big. if i were calmer i probably could have pulled it out.
so i started crying and just hoping it would die a quick painless death...and in a minute i went back to check it again sure it was dead......
and then i saw its tail flip out of the slot!
it was still f-ing alive. omg that was such an awful shock. but there was nothing i could do. i went to find melanie in the lounge and tell her what happened..all my neighbors probably thought i was psycho because i was screaming so loud.
anyway, every time i look at the drain it haunts me.
im sorry little fishy!!!! im sorry i wasnt careful enough! you died because of my stupidity. and i was trying so hard to be a good owner. and im sorry other fishy that i killed your companion...
:[ what an awful night
