Who are you?

I am in Frankenstein’s laboratory.

All of us are kept sealed in clear jars filled with some type of smelly goo.  We’re all labeled–I am the Lophiodes reticulatus.  My body is bleached white from the years of preservation, my eyes milky blue and filmed over.  All my fellow fish friends look like me.  Sphyrna lewini to my right is too long for his far.  His body curled up around his head.  I imagine that’s extremely painful.  Trichiurus lepturus below me is always upside down, viewing the world from a different view.

Above us is the skin of an armadillo.  The only part of his skeleton left is his skull.  I wonder what they did with the rest of his body…skin…organs.

I feel as if at any moment, the witches of Macbeth will come to collect their ingredients: eye of newt, toe of frog, wool of bat, tongue of dog…
