MEMOIR MARCH: Memoirs of a Goldfish by Devin Scillian and Tim Bowers

March 10, 2011 By Mary 5 Comments

Description

Day One
I swam around my bowl.
Day Two
I swam around my bowl. Twice.
And so it goes in this tell-all tale from a goldfish.
With his bowl to himself and his simple routine, Goldfish loves his life…until one day…
When assorted intruders including a hyperactive bubbler, a grime-eating snail, a pair of amorous guppies, and a really crabby crab invade his personal space and bowl, Goldfish is put out, to say the least. He wants none of it, preferring his former peace and quiet and solitude.
But time away from his new companions gives him a chance to rethink the pros and cons of a solitary life. And discover what he’s been missing.
