fish tank.
i had a bird's eye view of the entire island.  i could see a middle aged fat guy sitting near the center of it and someone on a loud speaker introduced him as the man in charge.  i spotted a walrus as a speck in the water.  as it approached our boat its whiskers grew as long as tree branches.  i knew it wouldn't harm us but could sense what was to follow.  i darted up a tall thin pole.
