I'm Sunset. I live with 5 other fish in my tank. I also live with a frog and a snail.
Anyway, my life here was great. I got along fairly well, except my older brother Sunrise basically ruled the tank.
I swam ever so peacefully each and every day. Our owner Sadie would feed us twice a day. But then, something happened to us.
Sadie stopped feeding us at night. She would feed us a grand feast in the morning and I would go with little or no food.
I got very skinny. "You'll be fine," said Sunrise to me after I complained to him.
Sometimes I'd even stay towards the bottom of the tank to catch the food that floats down there. Blake the snail and Thomas II the frog would get it first.
My only sister was named Jemima. She was only a baby when I knew her. She got older and was almost old enough to mate.
I was getting weaker by the day. No one cared. They only ate and shoved me out of the way. I hid behind the heater.
"Where's Sunset?" asked Jemima.
"I haven't seen him in two days. I haven't even been looking for him, not since he nudged me out of the way for food!" said Blast, the biggest fish in the tank.
"Have you, Daisy?" she asked.
"Nope. Sorry, kid. Nada," he said.
"Jemima!" I called.
"Sunset?" she asked. "Where are you?"
"Behind the heater," I said.
She swam back there to talk to me. "I wanted to ask you something."
"What?" I asked.
"Do you think I'm ugly?" she asked.
"What?! Of course not. You are the prettiest fish in the tank," I told her.
"Thanks!" she said, swimming off.
