Stefan awoke to find that he was having sex with an enormous fish. He had expected something like this.

“We have a gecko.” He made a twitching movement to demonstrate how ridiculous it would be not to have a gecko. “But room 7 already had a spider.”

Tina’s repetition was toneless. “My daughter is not only a known killer but a bumbling one. She’s not even two yet.”

“I don’t think we should underestimate the rabbits.”

Stefan stared out of the window and considered his life. A year ago, he had been secure in meaningless drudgery. Now his girlfriend was a fish and he was on his way to meet some polished dogs.
