Spirit wailing. Body flailing. Mind ailing. Heart failing.

A minute's silence

A minute's silence I ask of thee, for my grieve is total.
I mourn the death of my beloved Mercutio and Prospero, my last two fishies.
They fought valiantly against my bad care of them, continuing to live even though oxygen levels and/or food were low.

I won't get any new fish. I have just waited for over a month for them to die, for I knew they would not last. They lived longer than what I had expected, but it wasn't enough. So I won't get any new fish, because I now have the confirmation I needed. I now know that I am unable of taking care of living creatures, neither animal nor plant. My cactuses will probably start to die soon too, I've already lost one.

Heck, I can barely take care of myself. So I will never again try to take care of an animal.

A minute's silence is all I ask.
