     Barneby wasn't your ordinary goldfish. He loved digging the bottom of his fish tank. Whenever his "humans" were not around, Barneby would dip his face low into the sand of the bottom of his fish tank. He would then stay in that position for a few hours until the "humans" are in the same room as him. He would then continue to act like a normal fish- except the fact that he would have sand on his face.
     Sometimes, Barneby liked to hide in his castle. It was a plastic cup turned on its side. The castle was soooo spacious and luxurious to Barneby that he was so happy to be living alone in HIS tank. One day though- after swimming around in circles, Barneby decided to go back to his castle cup. When he went in, he saw something he had not seen in a long time. It was something which to this day still is Barneby's most hated subject. Barneby never wanted to see that thing again. He was so shocked by what he saw living in HIS castle that he swam so fast round and round the tank.
     Barneby swam so fast around the tank that the water started to swirl with him. Wait... swirl. SWIRL POOL. Barneby had made a swirling pool. The sand from the bottom of the tank had started o rise up and swirl too. SWRIL. SWIRL. SWIRL. From an outsider's point of view, the tank would have just looked dirty, but once inside- it looked like an underwater sand storm. The castle cup was in the center and was starting to move along the current. Suddenly, THE CASTLE MOVED INTO A FAST JET LIKE SPEED AND STARTED TO SPEED AROUND AND AROUND THE TANK. The subject inside was not seened.
     Barneby pushed his fins to the extreme. He swam and swam and swam and swam and flapped and swam and swam and SWAM. Till then- he stopped. He was exhausted. He was tired. He was beyond the living. He was a sleep deprived college student running only on caffeine tired. The current, still moving, carried Barneby round and round steadily like a  fairest wheel till it stopped. Barneby was starting to drift away. He started drifting and swaying towards the top of the tank- and stayed there.
     When his owners got home. They took Barneby out of the tank. And into another room. This room was the room that Barneby was to be sent away. The owner plopped him into another container of water. Then, Barneby- slowly then suddenly quickly- swirled away. SWRIL swirl swirl.
