A Hidden Companion
Being an octopus, I have never been afraid of sharks. They keep their distance from me, which is a shame because all I have ever wanted to do is be like a shark – intimidating, like a torpedo through the water, moving with such an undeniable confidence. Me, the most redeeming qualities I have; a sniper-like ink squirt, I can blend in anywhere, and apparently, I am pretty smart. These measly traits, though, do not give me a lot of pull. Not in the new ecosystem.
