I keep having this recurring nightmare where there's a massive aquarium in my basement and I somehow completely forget about it.
And I'm not talking about, like, 3 puny tanks. I'm talking about a mega pet-store-level setup of an aquarium—with rows upon rows of gallon tanks, some stacked up on each other.
When someone reminds me of the aquarium, I panic and run downstairs, crying out, "Oh no, the fish!" after discovering they're in deplorable conditions, with algae coating the tanks and whatever.
So, then I hurriedly clean the tanks as panicked as could be, trying to salvage the fish, some of whom have less than an inch of water in their tanks and haven't eaten in 25 days or something.
