A Eulogy for Ninja-Boy
Friend, Conversation Piece, Goldfish
Ninja-Boy, goldfish of the Amazing Steanso, was found floating, pectorals up, this morning. I have decided to eulogize Ninja-Boy in the way most befitting. By quoting Spock's Eulogy by Kirk from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead.
And yet, it should be noted, that in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world, a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or an empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this...
Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most -
human.
GODSPEED, NINJA BOY.
