A look at a non-citizen

While one of nature's friendliest creatures, evidence and first-person accounts have been handed down conclusively proving the dolphin's propensity for attack on humans. This condition occurs with males when they are in heat. One woman, an archivist with Twinsboro's I-Team, was bitten by one of the trained dolphins she was swimming with. She was dragged under on a chilly midmorning that would stiffen the joints of the rheumatic. She was a dive master, teaching classes out of the Y in a clay paste town in Georgia, and it was this training that saved her from drowning. Her husband, an amateur model-builder who once jettisoned the navigator from an experimental balsa plane, was a tanned state attorney and on the walkway bridge over the cove, he jumped in at the spot he'd seen his wife go under. He landed on the aggressive male's head, saving her. She gulped the air, and as he propped himself leaning over her she understood it was a loan. He would take it back later in the privacy of their home. In the water her blood attracted no danger. She would not have been so lucky on the open sea, where gangs of dolphins are prone to torment and torture their rivals and prey. They have large, complex brains, and they are animals.
