They're eating her, and then they're going

  • They're eating her, and then they're going to eat me. OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDD!!!!!!!! Why
  • did I buy carnivorous goldfish? I could hear them flopping down the hall towards my room. "Hello, 911? Goldy and Mr. Finnegan are trying to eat me. I'm seriou..." *click*
  • "Alright, it's all up to me," I told me. "Gotta use your instincts. Never give up." The door was closed, and the carnivorous goldfish were now flopping into it. Then silence.
  • More silence. Deadly silence. Scaly gill pulsing silence... It was the silence of the goldfish. What were those carnivorous Cypriniformes up to? I spied through the keyhole

    I didn't come up with any ideas, until I googled "A Static Lullaby", and managed to fit in both the title and 2 lines from their song "A Sip Of Wine Chased With Cyanide", in a single fold! Haven't listened to the song though. Anyone know them?
