FFfAW – Goldfish

How big a goldfish gets depends on the size of its home.  A small goldfish lives in a small bowl.  A big goldfish lives in a pond.

She moved from her small town to a big city.  She thought she could be a star.  But when she arrived, her size stayed the same, and the sharks stayed at the top.

Goldfish don’t come from the wild, they are bred.  Goldfish are designed by man to be used as pets.  Only when a goldfish dies does it float to the top.

She died a goldfish, and her funeral was attended by many.  She had made a splash.  Then they flushed her down the toilet.

R.I.P.  Goldie, the Goldfish.

  1. What a way to go.
    I like how you wove the life of this little creature into what can happen to those who do not achieve their dreams.

  2. Aww poor goldie! I almost thought this was going to be two separate beings (a goldfish and a young woman) or that the goldfish reference was just an analogy… but hey! you did great with it anyway!
