It’s been a year since Beetlejuice and Madame Geoffrey passed, and the authorities have not added to the Mansion’s population of one: Silent Hermit Tiki. They’ve talked about it. They’ve scoped out fish stores that only sell cichlids. They’ve talked some more and continue to put it off. Some think this is for the best, but it comes with consequences.
Without fish to gossip about, The Bubbly Review hit on hard times and ran out of money. They had to let go of all the journalists. Except for Kyle Sand, who refuses to leave and says he’s happy to “work for free” despite nothing to report. It’s been a long 14-year journey, and we’ve enjoyed ratting out the authorities’ incompetence. We want to thank all our readers and contributors for making The Bubbly Review a great publication and wish you all the best.

Author’s note:
Thank you for going on the As The Water Swirls journey with me. I hope these stories have entertained you and you’ve enjoyed my fish as much as I have. I’m sure I’ll get more at some point—Tiki really needs frenemies—but this seems like the logical place to end the series.
