Currently investigating a series of seemingly unrelated deaths in the fish world. Shebunkins, Comets, Danios, White Clouds; none have been spared. Coming on the tail of the recent “Catfish in the Filter” disaster of late 2007, the cold-blooded residents of LilliPilli Land are nervous, very nervous. The short residents perform head-counts with obsessive regularity; scanning tank/pot bottoms with well-trained, red-rimmed, ready-to-overflow-with-tears eyes.

And the short residents are a distrustful bunch, and have requested the recording of each disposal burial ceremony that they cannot attend due to prior commitments, lest I feed the dead to the cat resident…again.
