Hikari Toya Commited Suicide

The title says it all. My Betta fish, Hikari Toya, he jumped out of the fish tank while I was on vacation for Thanksgiving.

Vul and I walked into my dorm, and I ran over to see how Hikari Toya did over the break. The thing was, there was no Hikari Toya present. We looked around the tank but still couldn't find him. I helped Vul take her stuff to her dorm and then began pulling my desk out from the wall. I was convinced that he somehow had managed to jump out of the tank. Nope, no fish behind the desk. I then gave up, took a shower, contemplating if someone was playing a cruel joke on me. Then I started to clear off my desk when BAM! There he was! Dead, stiff, and shriveled up behind my books, sitting on my test. I freaked and didn't know what to do at first. My fish HAD jumped out of the tank, and killed himself.

I'm not sure why he did it or if he'd been practicing but there is only one way out of the tank; a little hole meant for feeding the fish. Yes, he some how managed to jumped just right and get out of the tank. Successfully killing himself. It was pretty traumatizing, finding him dead like that. Poor Hikari Toya. I wish I knew why he did it. Now there's this joke going around that he wanted to come with me so he tried following. *sigh* I feel terrible. I knew I should have just brought him with me. Something had been telling me to but I ignored The Voice. NEVER ignore The Voice. Your instincts are usually correct. I really need to learn this.

Anyways, back to practicing my speech. Ttyl, peace! *does the peace sign* Wow...I'm lame...
