100 drabbles - 50 Fish
Prompt: 50. Fish
“Come see! Come see! Look!” Squeals Jet, taking me by the hand and practically dragging me into the living room, “Look at our new goldfish!” I peer into the tank where two shiny orange fish swim together amongst waving fronds of pond-plants. “Very nice,” I say, impressed. “That one’s Dora, and that one’s Boots!” She explains, “And you feed them flakes of food from out of this pot here.” “Did you know goldfish are white in the wild?” I ask. Jet looks at me with big round eyes. “It’s the sunlight that makes them gold.” “Oooh,” She coos in wonderment.
