A Daunting Dinner #nuclearmermaid3

As time grew on, some of the fish seemed to age rapidly whereas Jenny somehow managed to maintain her usual youthful self. Perhaps it was a quality that differed her from the fish. This meant that the fish were slower to get the flakes whereas Jenny learnt to become quick and nimble. She also had to be less weary of hiding places, and she found that she was beginning to outgrow some of them. One night, she spotted a fish that had passed away, and was bobbing up and down on the surface. Having licked the fish during her younger days, she found herself drawn to this flesh and wondered what it tasted like. Once she started, she couldn’t stop until she’d had her fill and half of the flesh had disappeared. As she swam back to one of her few hiding places, she wondered what would become of the carcass and whether any of the other fish would swear vengeance.
