Sunfish

In an attempt to manage his debilitating neurological condition, Bruce Willis has been turned into a Sunfish. However, is unclear exactly what the benefits are meant to be. While magnificent and ethereal to look at, Sunfish are amongst the most unintelligent beings of Neptune’s realm. Perhaps his doctors thought that the limited cognitive capacity of the form would make his degenerative condition less noticeable, or more comforting for the patient.

But still, the deterioration manifests itself differently, its flesh slowly flaking off and leaving what looks like gouge wounds on either side. Despite these problems, it swims around its huge tank, its face expressing unknowable interiority. After it finishes a few circuits in the aquarium, it leaves, shrinking to the size of a smartphone. I pick up the creature and stick it in my pocket.
