THE DEAD FISH

 The Dead Fish

I wrote this in my diary a long time ago – I think I was aged in my 20s. Penrith Nepean Square used to have a pet store.

One day Matthew and I were shopping at Nepean Square and we went into this pet store and were looking at the animals because we both loved animals. There were all these fish tanks along the wall and a lot of the fish were floating on the top, dead.

When I saw all the dead fish, I was a little taken aback. There was this young aboriginal boy, he was about 12 and he didn’t like seeing the dead fish either. He heard what I was saying to Matthew about the dead fish and the little boy said to me, “Look Miss, there’s dead fish up here as well.” He was standing a little further away from us and I walked up to him and the fish tanks where he was standing had dead fish in them as well. I said to Matthew, “There is a fish massacre in this store”. I was venting about it and Matthew was laughing, because he laughed at most things. I didn’t write down whether I complained or not, but they probably overheard what we were saying.

I don’t know why they left all the dead fish floating in the water in the tanks when the store was open. No one would buy fish from them after seeing that. It’s not good advertising.

The pet store remained opened a few years after that but it got old and it closed eventually.

BLACK SHEEP

  BLACK SHEEP                 There are black sheep and I’m one of them.                 There’s definitely some kind of class division or a hierarchy where some people think they are better than others. I don’t know what this is based on. But the truth is that it’s based entirely on who the biggest wankers are in the room. There are class groups, it’s like being on the Titanic. There are the narcissists who look down on others, then the group in the middle who aren’t in but not out either, and then there’s the ones of the bottom, the scum.                 The wankers and bitches seem to think they are better than everyone else and just sit around making snide comments about people, even when someone is right in front of them they will make snobby a...

KILLED BY MY MOTHER

KILLED BY MY MOTHER My Dream Blog I had this dream that I walked into my mother’s house, and she had a room where all my brother’s belongings were in, and she had his photos all over the wall. I was lying on this bed inside this room, and she was stabbing me and cutting me. I was lying there, and she was killing me, and I was completely powerless to stop her. I kept screaming NO, but she was uncompassionate and kept doing it.                 I then was inside this house and there was a group of people who didn’t know me but they were trying to kill me, but I was able to get away with each attempt. I noticed that they also had harmed other people, and they wanted to do the same to me. None of their previous victims were able to escape, but I was able to escape. In my dreams, I can fly, and flew away and got away because I found all these exits. I kept finding myself back in the same location but each time I was able to escape and save myself and th...
