Life in a fishbowl

(Cert:G) Life in a Fishbowl is the tale of a fish who, due to a petshop owner's accident, gained the ability to speak. 'Bill' the Goldfish tells the story of his life, how his owner, Timmy, came to adopt him, and how, through the years, he helped the boy became a man. by Kody Boye Published on: 16. September 2009

I don’t know how to start, but I’ll start like this. My name is Bill, and I’m a carnival goldfish. Now, if you don’t know what a carnival goldfish is, it’s one of those fish that never, ever die.

            Well, that’s another matter entirely.More...

Perseus had trouble with his flying. Hermes’ winged sandals were all very well, but he wished he had a pair of proper wings, like Eros for instance, or at least a winged horse to ride on; that Pegasus, that jumped out of Medusa’s blood when he had cut her head! Now, how did that happen? Of all the marvels More...

Chapter 1
A mysterious disappearance

Daniel woke up in the middle of a summer night, disoriented. He felt like an invisible hand had jerked him out of sleep. The bedroom was dark. With the leaden starlight from the window, every piece of furniture was like a crouching beast, cold and menacing. More...

(Cert: G) by Michael Manis Published on: 13. April 2004
Viewed (351) times by readers.
Peaches growing in the trees. Fuzzy, round, sweet spheres falling from the branches, rolling on the ground. Eaten by young, smooth hands. The sun hung in the sky and tanned his skin, made him dark as a gunpowder cloud.

“It’s my unicorn, sir.” Rimbaud reached over and stroked his unicorn’s pure white flanks. “He’s sick.” More...
