Murder Most Foul.

I witnessed a murder this morning. Very devious indeed was this particular act. An innocent fish was swimming in the aquarium and was suddenly stricken with what seemed to be some sort of twitching, spasmatic ailment. The fish swam haphazardly around the tank, bumping into things, walls, rocks,it's mouth covered with a white stringy substance. Finally, it dropped down to the bottom of the tank and expired. What might have caused this to happen? An illness of sorts? Or perhaps a more grim explanation. The truth would soon unfold...

And now for the gripping revelation!

Quite unnerved, the two remaining fish were nudging at the dead fish for any signs of life. Meanwhile, beneath a rock, the predator watched and waited. It was none other than...a large sea worm with caterpillar-like stingers strategically placed on every inch of it's body. It had been hiding in the rock and when the coast was clear, quickly grabbed it's victim and dragged the fish slowly back to the rock from wenst it had appeared.

The End...or was it??

Having discovered that his prize fish had been murdered, the aquarium owner set out to find the culprit. With one motion, the murderer was plucked from it's marine lair and chucked into the grassy jungle(backyard), never again to wreak havoc on the inhabitants of this underwater world.

Yeah, I know. It was like watching the discovery channel. Poor Fishy.

Nothing says "Rest in peace, fish" quite like a trip to Orlando. :) You should come back this way! Funness!
