My fish died tonight. Luckily Sarah was here, so she took him out of the tank and put him in the toilet for me. We said some nice words, then flushed him. I couldn't even look. I feel kind of guilty that he didn't get the same quality funeral that Sammy got. But Nina is out of town, so we would have had to wait a week for the funeral. And I didn't think I could stand to have Rhett in my freezer for that long. Sarah and I thought about just going down to the river and doing it tonight, but it's really cold. Also, I feel bad saying this, but Rhett was not as cool of a fish as Sammy. Sammy would swim over to see me whenever I came in the room and wiggle his little fins at me. Rhett just liked to chill in his castle. But he was a good fish. A loner, but not in a bad way. I will miss him. It's also kind of depressing that I am now the only living thing in my apartment.
