Ode to Ernie, my birthday fish

About the size of an eraser with silky fins and two beedy eyes was Ernie, my first blue betta fish. He was received on October 12^th and died October 22^nd. Those ten days were almost bliss. I talked to Ernie, pet the side of the bowl, and listened to him "speak" through websites written in fish perspective. Like an old dog too tired to learn new tricks, Ernie would play dead and shun my attempts at motherhood. It’s funny I could get so attached to a creature who went from a fish bowl to a toliet bowl in ten days.
