It had a glare from my warm yellow tank light and the colors were all wrong. As for the house Jeff had given me, I’d say it’s okay. It was this little house positioned on a fake tree stump with fake leaves on the top. To the giants outside of my tank it looked perfect and real, but from my point of view it was wretched and fake. I snap out of my little day dream and slowly tiptoe towards the shiny coin. I see no one in sight. Perfect. Reaching my hand out I slowly curl my fingers around the coin. A tap on the left side of my tank, it makes me flinch and my entire body tenses as I jump back. As alarmed as I was, a relieved feeling flooded through my body at the sight of Gina, the most annoying fairy in the world, next door tapping her scrawny finger against my polished glass. Disgust fills my features before I turn back around and start dragging the beautiful gold coin into my feeding area. “Clover… Clover Hi” I let out a tiny whine before I turn back towards her. “What do you need Gina” As much as I tried I couldn’t keep my annoyance out of my voice, but Gina didn’t pay any mind to it. “Well since your nasty house is taking away my natural light for my gorgeous face… I figured you could give me your pot of gold to make up for it.” I rolled my eyes at her request.

    Her steps were slow and cautious. Her breaths were small and shallow, but her heart could be heard by anyone standing at least a few meters away. She had been waiting perpetually. Had been plotting, planning; and agonizing. She was already well aware of the consequence her actions would lead to, but after the event that had been weighing on her shoulders for years on end, the few seconds of relief that she would finally have after the deed was done would be all worth it. Her grip tightened…

    It is in that way - forehead to forehead, hips aligned instinctively, heaving chests and groans of hunger and desire - that I crash and fall, everything I know up to that moment falling away from me while he races to his end just after me. He presses his face into her shoulder and crumbles as our bodies offer up shudder after shudder of release until all that remains is a quivering suspension of movement and then silence.

    the bloody scene. Both girls lay placid, sprawled on the cold, hard walkway. I picked myself up. All eyes glare upon me. I had not realized the repercussions of my actions. The group of people all seemed to be encouraging the one which I tackled. Each and every person cut me with their gaze. This spectacle continued for a minute or so until I decided to take drastic action. I whipped out my gun and pointed it into the air. The scene was hectic. An extreme frenzy to get a far away from me as…
