Snippet #1499187

Kai quietly finished his squid much slower than Nerin because he didn't swallow it whole. He sat lonely at the bottom of the tank gnawing on the pen that was the squid's backbone. He missed the other fish in the ocean, in this tank it was so lonely even with his sister and her mate. He sniffled to himself and his tail let off a pale blue light he wanted to go home so badly, back to the fish, the crustaceans, the seaweed, even the kelp and sharks! It was in lonely places like this he thought of his mother she would never have wanted to see them imprisoned in a tank like this but here they were, their skin and scales slowly peeling off amidst the chemical filled water.
