The Drylanders

With utter certainty each creature has, at some point, needed to confront the mystery, pain and anguish of their own death, and possibly that of others too, sometimes welcomed, but often not. And as far as we who remain tied to our mortal bodies know, many have also experienced the surprises the afterlife brings too. This fish simply craves interaction - with anyone and everyone - in order to break the monotony of life. Ongoing company is guaranteed when the fish finally gets its very own unexpected 'pet'. One in a series of ten short stories by the same author, which may be found together in the compilation 'The Cutest Little Animal Horror Stories'.
