Mystic Castle

i slip down through sparkling depths, gliding silently toward my mystic castle. I always find peace there within, sheltered from all the chaos around me, hidden from prying eyes or evil intentions, and worse, indifference that leaves me no purpose. They can not see the tears I weep nor care about my solitary existence, Until...someone is reminded to feed the Goldfish!

I now appreciate what you always insist on for your contests, Craig - that 'got you' moment. I certainly rose to the bait and was totally surprised by your unexpected protagonist!

Thanks Sandy, I used to have a few in a Koi pond - named two of them Cuff and Link like the turtles in Rocky---BTW, did you know that Sylvester Stallone still has those same turtles as pets. They may outlive him!! Check it out

The least you could do is get him/her a mate:) life in solitaire is a tough draw! Very funny, Craig. I always like to laugh:)
