473- I have always lived in the castle
Saturday, April 19th, 2003 10:22 pmMines a frog, not a fish, and a true story, so not nearly as amusing:
Come to think of it, I haven’t always lived in the castle. Before living in the bowl with the big green root that constantly changes, the red marbles and the blue castle; I lived in a tank with a bunch of other frogs. The girl with the long hair picked me out of all the other frogs because I looked the most “boisterous.” I was captured in a green net and dropped in a bag with water and air. The girl with the long hair took me outside, then took me back in, explaining to the cashier that she didn’t really mean to steal me, she’s just kind of blonde. She put me in the bowl with the castle, the root was smaller then. Huge real plants grew all around me, I had never seen real plants before. The girl with the long hair crawls under the plant canopy to see me, she taps on my bowl and speaks to me. I always talk back. When she sticks her finger on the surface I swim up and nibble on it, she giggles. She feeds me mostly every other day, but sometimes she forgets, probably cos she’s kind of blonde. She tries to feed me pellet food and sea monkeys, I only eat the sea monkeys, they taste better. One day when she was feeding me, a new person came up, he is a naked boy, the boy is constantly touching her. Girl said to boy, “What should we name him?” I tried to tell her that my name is Rupert and I didn’t need a new name. “Stapler.” He said, “His name is Stapler.” The girl nodded and agreed. I did a loop de loop.
The root grew longer and my water grew a bit warmer. I started having feelings. I felt like there was something missing, something out there and I needed to get to it. I felt antsy and finally the area between my tummy and legs tingled. I needed a girl frog. The long hair girl had a naked boy, the fish next door have a 4 some, I needed someone too. I said to the girl, “I need a woman! I have urges!” She just feed me more.
I tried grinding against the marbles, scratching my area. It made me a little more …relaxed… but didn’t ease the tension in my heart. I had to get out. There would be a girl out there, somewhere. Maybe I can break the glass? I swam to the other end of the tank, got a running start and “bam.” Not a dent. I tired again, “bam.” Nothing. Again, and again and again. Nothing. I searched every surface for a way out, maybe I missed something? No. I swam back into my castle and laid down. Maybe tomarrow the glass will be weaker.
