Oh crikey Ryfkah. How peceptive of you to see all of this. Actually the fish
is a but a fish and the egg but an egg and the title is wrong. I am going
through a confused state at the moment and my thought processes are
entangled. Like a fish in a net I suppose
I didn't know the fish was a sign of death but do know that the egg is
sigificant with fertility. I just thought of wanting to give someone I love
an Easter egg but being a bit liike the woman scorned thought I would send a
fish instead.  Thanks for your constructive crits Sally J
