I loved this story, you made it so believable, too. You should write more prose. You've really taken this prompt and made a super sweet love story, but then you broke the poor fish's heart! Shame on you! Lol. Well done and good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xx

You did a great job with this contest challenge! I like your descriptions of the fish's behavior and how a fish might express being in love. Enjoyed your humor even the excuse of religious differences instead of the species difference! Best wishes in the contest!

Is that what Fin has in mind? Marriage. (maybe even the Marriage part should be a question also. Marriage? - at least, that's how I hear it when I read it.)

Your response to this prompt is excellent--skillfully written, entertaining, and vividly descriptive of how the little fish moves about in its bowl and how its behavior starts to change. The ending is especially good.

    Thank you, my friend. I have discovered I like writing short stories which I rarely do but the challenge contests if not asking for a litany of extraneous word, generate my interest.

What a strange fish tale for the something's fishy contest. It was very creative and imaginitive. Good luck in the contest. Stay safe and stay healthy.
