You took apart my fish tank? We both sink to the bottom: UPDATE
Now, what you've all been waiting for. The Update.
So, about 2 hours after posting the OG, she got home and saw the carnage of my actions. And I never heard such a shrill scream in my life. And whats make it worse is that I couldnt help but.....smile.
You see, this isnt the first time she's disregarded something of mine. (This will be the last though) What makes this different is that its a living animal involved. She ridiculed my girlfriend in public. She's took $100 my cousin got for me for my BDay and "held on to it ( that was a year and half ago). She's misplaced a scrapbook full of letters from my mother during her stay at the nursing home. (she passed away in 2019.) And none of those incidents got responses from me. At the time, i thought everything was happening for a reason. But this was the last time I was gonna sit there and do shit about it.
You see, I've something about people. The only language that everyone TRULY knows and understands is violence.
Anyway, she started crying .(Cried so much, she could fill her own damn aquarium.) Once she got done bawling her eyes out, she stormed into my room and questioned me about it. I simply told her "doesnt feel good does it?" To have your shit disregarded?" I bet it doesnt. Besides, didnt your grandpa hate you because you refused to look after his grandson?" He never wanted to see you again. That includes beyond the grave." She then proceeded to threatened to have me arrested for destruction for property. I argued that I could do the same for Animal cruelty/abuse.
After a hour or so of this. She finally said that "one day you gonna learn to stop touching people's shit." and proceeded to leave the room. I responded "And you learned that lesson today
Was that disrespectful? Oh for sure. You can call me a monster. An asshole. A demon. A piece of shit. All the above for all I care. None of that stopped me from having something I havent had in awhile. A good night's sleep.
(Now some people were saying that the fish was good as dead anyway. And yes, I bought the fish not knowing what it needed. So I went to my friends over at
r/bettafish and they gave me the idea of a makeshift tank. (And yes, everything was perfectly safe for Eclipse.) The plastic storage bin was cleaned and rinsed and filled with room temp. water along with the water conditioner. It had the coffee mug to hide in. It had the sponge and air pump as the filter. It had a small heater next to it. (not too close, didnt want to melt a whole in it.) It even had some sand in it. Sure it wasnt the best thing. But I can assure you, if she didnt touch that tank, it` ll still be alive today.
You can also argue that I only had it for a day. Why does that matter? If you had a puppy for a day, and your loved one took away everything it needed and left it outside, how would you feel? (Some people would say they arent the same thing, but it is. They're living beings. Creatures that could have lasted years. Things that people love. Things that people care for.
If that makes me a psychopath, then lock me the fuck up because Im sick of people disregarding my belongings.
Swim in Peace Eclipse
(P.S I think I need to point out that My aunt doesnt own the house, my uncle does. And he already told me Im not going anywhere. So I dont need to worry about that.
