Aboard the arctic fishing vessel, Jeremy pulled in the haul of cod.He had seen several seals that day, but no sign of Rick, his urbane friend who had begun the fishing franchise, and the brains of the small operation.
Hours passed, and the air temperature dropped, the rocking of the boat would not keep the water surrounding it from freezing in these shallows. Jeremy knew he had little time: he would have to decide now if he were going to stay here all night or get underway. But of course, where could he be?
The frazzled polar bear mother returned to the den with the larger part of a seal carcass which she had hunted to feed her lone cub. At least, she thought it was a seal when she came upon it swimming in the bright blue depths: all alone it was, with a strangely-shaped head. Yet, it appeared, with its sleek black body, to be a seal, though sickly, perhaps, which explained why it was swimming all alone. No matter. She had thought very little about it. Food was scarce, and she had hunted for days.
But as she dismembered it, it tasted so very strange. And it had two strange layers of skin, the outer of which tasted so terrible that she nearly dropped it back into the depths.
