Lost and Found #nuclearmermaid 2

Jenny didn’t know where she was. She’d been trapped in a glass tank ever since she got caught when the metal sphere invaded her home. She didn’t know where the corpse of her mother was or how far away she had travelled. The sun had been replaced by a brighter light that never seemed to fade. And now there were bipeds gawping at her through a glass screen; the kind that her species had been trained to steer clear from if ever they were to venture into the shallow end. Occasionally floral flakes would appear on the surface but the rest of the fish always got to them first. She would have to guess the time of when they arrived so that she could be one of the first next time; but she was very weak. The only other way was to try and take a lick off one of the other fish once she was sure that they were asleep.
