She knew when the doorbell rang and she saw the postman there that Matthew was dead. But how do you mourn a fish, even a fish that everyone knows is the last tuna in the world and that you won the contest to name him so you did after your grandfather who taught you about the sea. Still, he's a fish, even if he was the most famous fish in the world for a while. So you buy a dress that is reminiscent of the dress you wore when you were 7 and you were chosen to name him and you go to the aquarium and pay your respects, to a fish.
A lament indeed to a world that could happen but also a warning if we heed it to protect the world we still have.
