"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.
"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"
"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."
"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."
"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.
"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."
"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."
"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.
"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.
"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."
"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."
"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

it's independent bookstore day! and incidentally amazon has put on a book sale on the same day, because they're undercutting scum! don't give them any of your money!
support you local bookstore in person, or find one on bookshop.org and buy through them! maybe even consider getting my book through bookshop. it's good!
(sorry wick for making you the strawman)
A commission on twitter🌼: “Ariko working at Waffle House” xD I was doubting if he would have hairy arms and then I remembered Noda said he omited a lot of body hair for practical reasons SO YES🐻. Now my other question is if he is soft spoken 🤔…
