Ash -

I think you gotta lose the goldfish and find something else that's baptized - perhaps beetles or centipedes. Why would goldfish be in the basement? Am I missing something ? If not, I think they appear as by a deus ex machina. Serious here - not messin around.

Don't get me wrong - I thing the last two lines are a great close that really sound good and make the reader stop and think.

In this regard, regardless of whether it's goldfish or beetles, would you mind breaking the usual rules and telling us what you meant by "baptized along with" ...? I understand the meaning of this phrase with respect to the possessions, but what about with respect to the goldfish, or whatever ?

Regards
