This is a weird little story I wrote. I was being really silly at the time and this is a product of that. It's pretty horrendous, but I wrote it at some ungodly hour, and am therefore not responsible for its utter lameness. :D
Fish Soup
There once was a fish named Abby. It had been at human being at one time, but a friendly and helpful witch, who just happened to be in the area at the time, turned the miserable wretch into a perch, thus relieving many grateful and tired people of her malice and general evilness. After the witch had performed this exemplary deed, the people of the town sent her on her merry way with a gift basket filled with melons and radishes. Thrilled to her gnarled fingertips, the witch continued with her travels, in which she performed many other good deeds of a similar nature
Needless to say, Abby was furious that she had been so horribly violated. Having been a lawyer in her previous existence, the first solution that popped into her head was legal action. But, of course, a fish cannot very well sue a witch, so Abby soon gave up this plan. For days and days she plotted her revenge, tearing through ideas like a bird’s beak through cream cheese. Finally, the dastardly being decided to go out with a bang, and take as many villagers with her as possible. So she dove deep down to the bottom of the lake and consumed a powerfully poisonous plant called Sliverweed. Abby then swam into one of the lobster traps positioned near the shore and died with the giddy prospect of revenge bouncing around in her tiny, poorly formed skull.
Little Bobby Bea found her, and his family made an appetizing soup out of her. Unfortunately, the potent poison present in her scaly little carcass killed them all.
As the villagers were weeping and burying them, the kindly witch passed through, on her way back home. When she heard what had happened, she shook her wrinkled brow and told them of the nature of the fish that had killed the happy little family. Furious, the villagers appointed a day that marked the great evilness that was Abby. Every year now on that day, they remember her satanic nature and pour fish soup on the beach to remind each other of her poisonous personality that so destroyed little Bobby Bea and is family.
