Oh man. This was a seriously bad dream. I’ve had bad dreams before—once I was this black hole sucking all of earth into me, and then I started working on the planets. The sun almost gave me indigestion. Then, a long time later, I started joining up with other black holes, but… well, I digress.
The weirdest thing was having water coming in through these holes in my neck, but what was really cool was like just gliding and flying and then wondering why I wasn’t drowning. There aren’t any mirrors in the deep, so it’s kind of hard to know who… or what you are, unless you’re under one of the glass bottom boats.
Damn! I love those boats. It is so cool to come rushing up from underneath, heading straight for the bottom of the boat, like you’re going to crash into it and split it open and all the people will fall in the water and you can eat them….
Whoa, mama! That’s, like, cannibalism, right? This double identity thing is a serious drag. I mean, I just don’t like sushi. But did you ever try to light a cook stove underwater? It just won’t light. Even if you can find a cook stove. With gas. Nobody really makes them for underwater shark cuisine. Best you can do is find one on one of those sunken reef boats, although they ususally remove the equipment first.
You know. Being a shark puts a whole new perspective on existentialism. But what can you do? No opposable thumb? I tried writing to the President but a) paper goes all to mush, b) there aren’t any underwater pens and c) I couldn’t hold a pen, even if it did work. Sure, I could hold it in my teeth, but seriously. I don’t need a toothpick and the damn things keep on getting crushed.
But I think I found a solution. I heard there’s this like sea aquarium or something and they use trained sharks or whales or seals or something….mmmmm seals. Maybe they’d put me in the same cage…..
Oops. Stomach is rumbling. BRB.
Yeah. Where was I? Oh yeah. So if I can get them to take me in, none of the “sorry Charlie” stuff, but then, I’m not a tuna, am I? Then I have this whole dance routine worked out, so like I can dance on my tail like a stupid dolphin… did I ever tell you about that dolphin tribe in the West Atlantic? No? Well… oops. I’ll never get finished if I don’t get on track.
Yeah, so it’s like charades, only with a shark. I think I can do it. Just show them some complex thinking patterns and maybe they’ll see I’m a human… Or not. With my luck, they’ll be Republicans. So much for complex thinking!
