A Disastrous Dessert #nuclearmermaid7

The tank seemed brighter than usual. Jenny couldn’t think what it was. Maybe it was the sun perhaps? She started to shield her eyes; then thought it might be better to get a little bit closer. Would she really be able to breathe fresh air and bask her hair in its warmth? She reached up and the white cover fell off easily with a clatter to the ground. It immediately got colder and some of the light began to fade. Then a smaller series of white lights began to focus on her chest. She got a bit concerned at this and tried to see over them. She just about got a glimpse of a crowd of bipeds pointing small rectangular boxes in her direction. As she stood on her tail, the lights continued to follow her, so she decided to collapse herself back into the safety of the tank. As she dropped, her tail fin caught the edge of the glass. It splintered, then cracked, then smashed into a thousand pieces, sending water everywhere. The bipeds fled in terror.
