Dome-sized weighted seafaring net


By the Gulf of Golgotha he will stand down. Down. Down. Oh sure, he'll spaz back and forth a bit like a guppy dodging a net, but we're talking dome-sized weighted seafaring net here, adept at capturing 1000-pound marlins as much as curvy seahorses. It is foregone. But he ain't there yet. He's still got weeks to get full, get empty, get dry, get wet, get up, get tired, get naked, get dressed. There's some nice things to look at while he's doing these things, and some nice things to hear and smell, and maybe some nice things to taste and touch, if he's lucky. And by being here, he is.
