Fish and Vampire

In the depths of sea, where waters dark and chilly,
Little Fish lived like a star in the sky.
She swam in large flock, sparkling like a diamond,
And she was full of happiness, like a treasure chest.

Vampire, creature of night, born from pair of vampires,
Hunted in the dark, he never came into the light.
He drank blood, but not for fun, that was his nature,
But still, at night he brought death to the city.

One day Fish and Vampire met in the dark
On seabed, where light never reaches.
Fish got scared when she saw red eyes of Vampire,
But Vampire smiled, inviting Fish to conversation.

He said: "Don't be afraid of me, little Fish,
I'm not going to hurt you, that's not why I'm here.
I'm just tired of night hunting and bloody chases,
I came here to hide from the bustle
And see at least one bright soul."

Fish looked at Vampire in surprise
And realized that the world is much more complex.
They began exchanging stories about their childhoods,
Like old acquaintances who haven't seen
Each other for a long time.

So Fish and Vampire became good friends,
Since then they saw each other often
And chatted for a long time,
Discussing news and TV series.
Life is amazing thing, isn't it?
