The sea was angry that day, my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli. I got about fifty feet out, and then suddenly the great beast appeared before me.
I tell you, he was ten stories high if he was a foot! As if sensing my presence, he let out a great bellow. I said, "Easy, big fella!" And then as I watched him struggling, I realized something was obstructing his breathing. From where I was standing, I could see directly into the eye of the great fish!
