This morning my Mum took my turtle out of his tank and to the roof for him to get some sun. I only bring him to the roof to get sun every weekend, so today is a Monday and thus there was a break in the routine. It was also when I was just waking up when she told me, and I half thought I was dreaming. That was about 8am. I had school later at 2pm, so I always finished up my work by 12 so I can get ready to go to school. So since I wasn't the one who let my turtle on the roof to get some sun, I totally forgot that he was on the roof. He was up there in the scorching sun from at least 8am to 1pm. There was no water in the pail as well, because my Mum said the water will heat up and end up cooking the turtle. Well water or not, when I suddenly recalled that he was on the roof, I think it was too late. He was very very warm to the touch and he was limp. And I ran him under cold tap water hoping that he will stir awake. But nothing. I'm so angry with myself that I forgot about him on my roof. And it was because of the break in the routine that I never bring him to the roof on a weekday morning, only weekends morning, that's why it never cross my mind that he will be on the roof. I feel so guilty that this is all my fault and now he's gone. I left him back in his tank and I hope that when I come back from school tonight he will be swimming like normal. I refuse to accept that he's dead... please advice what is happening and what I should do... if he's really gone... I can't have another turtle again. Because all I'll be thinking is that I'm a murderer and it's all my fault. I'm so sorry.
