The woman sees herself as a terrible fish because her younger self is drowning and disappearing as she is getting older. Which is why this is a great form of imagery because the reader can see a terrible fish drowning just like her younger self is drowning in her new body. I believe that she chose to compare herself to a fish because she feels that she is aging fast and ultimately nearing death.

The mirror explains, in the final lines, "In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman / Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish."
The woman was said to have awatched as her youth slowly disappear or fade over the years of looking into the same mirror, which is why the mirror interprets that as a kind of "drowning" of the woman's youth. While te "terrible fish," then, is the specter of old age, the total loss of youth and vitality.

Explanation:
A<u> short story</u> is a narrative piece that presents ideas and themes in a lesser length. Since it has a <u>shorter scope</u> it must present <u>one plot</u>, deal with a <u>single problem</u>, avoid overcomplicating things, and should explore a precise theme through specific narrative devices. A <u>short story</u> rarely develops both main and minor characters, merely because of its length.
Novels, on the other hand, can develop both main and minor characters, and focus on multiple issues throughout the story.
