There is a giant, unknown sea-creature hiding right under my kayak.
At first, I thought it was a giant Pacific octopus. That would have been
incredible because I’m observing it in a cove in the Florida Keys. This is
obviously Atlantic waters and there shouldn’t be a giant Pacific octopus
here. It blends in very well with its surroundings. But I get the feeling like
I’m being watched. You know, that prickly, goosebumps feeling?
Looking over the side of my kayak, I see it. My dog, Princess Peach,
sees it too, and starts yapping her little furry head off. It has long tentacles
like an octopus, but it’s kind of burrowed and balled up. I’ve passed over it
a few times since first seeing it and can’t quite envision what its whole body
looks like. But it has claws, and those claws are on the end of fingers, I
swear to God! And once I saw a mouth full of teeth. I probably don’t have
to tell you that’s weird for an octopus.
This time, I’ve strapped a waterproof camera to the underside of my
kayak. Now I’m taking a video of this octopus-creature-animal. As unlikely
as it seems, I believe I’ve discovered a new species. I need to Google how
to go about this. I think I get to name it if I discover it, right?
My first instinct is to name it something funny, but when I think about
it, I’m not actually any good at coming up with funny names. And I haven’t
really gotten a good look at it. It’s so well camouflaged that I only ever see
one part or another and not the thing as a whole. Maybe after I look at this
video, I’ll be able to come up with a good name for this newly discovered
species.
I’m startled out of my thoughts when Peach starts barking again. But
this time she’s barking toward the house and not the tentacled creature on
the seafloor. There’s a truck pulling down the long driveway of my very
private vacation rental.
I’m instantly terrified, but I give myself a pep-talk. I’m sure it’s not
what I think it is. Not everybody is out to get me. They’re probably lost.
I consider just paddling away. If I turn left out of this cove, I can
paddle right over to the nearby restaurant and get out at their dock.
And then what?
I don’t even have my phone with me. I left it inside like a dumb ass
because I didn’t want to be interrupted by notifications. Social media has
become a danger to me in real life. It’s better to stay away from it as much
as possible right now. I could paddle over to the restaurant and ask to use
their phone, maybe? And then call the police or something? I stop
considering this ridiculous scenario. The cops would laugh at me. It’s just a
truck in the driveway. They aren’t breaking any laws. Plus, the restaurant
