Depressing Events at The Fish Store

I went to The Fish Store today to buy a nice fish or two. I always wanted to have a bunch of those guys swimming around in a tank.

The first fish I looked at was a sort of eel-like creature. It had dots on it. I think it was called "Peacock Eel." It was an amazing fish.

Then I noticed that its lack of movement was not from being in a state of rest, but because it was dying. It was floating around in the corner of the aquarium, his little gills beating furiously. The poor thing was hyperventilating.

Out of nowhere, these little black and orange shark things come and start to bite at the Peacock Eel. The eel writhed around, trying to whip its body away from the horrible shark things. More and more little black and orange shark things gathered around the magnificent Peacock Eel. They forced it to the bottom of the aquarium and bit at the poor little eel.

The Peacock Eel died. I saw it twitch for the last time.

It was a depressing event.
