Months ago my fish passed away, I wanted to talk about her death, as it was valid just like all the others, it required a finalization ritual, necessary to perpetuate the closure of her life cycle. I then built her tombstone, wrote her name in red blood and gave her hollow, amphibious body as an offering to the water mother. Another death marked.
