Taking Literature In Vain

The death toll amongst the Cloud Minnows continues to rise. A further defunct member of the species tanicthys albonubes discovered at 8.30PM on Monday 23 May. The only obvious sign that there was anything wrong, as with the other four ex-inhabitants of the aquarium, is that rigor mortis had set in! In my book, that has always been an obvious sign that one is not in the best of health.

Tests of the water for Ph and NO2 are both fine so, we intend to take a sample down to the aquarists for further tests! The tale is becoming reminiscent of Agatha Christie's non-PC title "Ten Little N..... Boys". Enid Blyton, I believe, left us with a title for the remnant of our mini-shoal, "Now We Are Five".

I apologise for any flippancy in this grave matter but, how else can one cope with the trauma. Already I had to visit a psychiatrist this afternoon. [And, as God said to Moses, "keep taking the Tablets!"].
