The fish jumped out of it's tank  this morning. It was a shock to  see the empty bowl and hear my gasp as I saw its sticky  body, wet on the counter. It was oddly poetic. that's the second fish I've had  jump out of its tank. I don't understand how it mustered the energy. Maybe it was a suicidal  fish, if fish can experience those emotions?   I treated it alright though. Maybe it was sick of being trapped in a glass life and wanted freedom even if the price was death.
