The boat with me and my dog was carried away by the storm. I lost my oars, so we were left drifting. I almost lost the hope of surviving when Saint Barbara appeared as a giant wave. She threw us to the shore, and we arrived safely. I thank for that.
The Day of the Dead, some skeletons came out their graves, got drunk and went to my farm which is near the cemetery. They made a real mess and scared the animals—my poor chicken and pigs. I prayed the Virgin of Guadalupe for protection, and she made a miracle. The rooster sang much earlier before the dawn, and the skeletons ran to their graves leaving us in peace.
We lived in a desolated place outside of the city, but the price was cheap. I felt fear when I had to walk to our house after work. One day a stray dog followed me. I tried to chase it away but when the dow look at me with its sad eyes, I let it go along. It accompanied me to the house and stayed with us. We bathed it and I even bought it a red color. Now the dog meets me every day at the bus stop when I get home from work and goes with me to the house. It does the same with my sister. We thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for this warm company.
The ocean will
seemingly never run out of strange creatures to baffle the mind —
especially when you factor in the extinct ones from millions of years
ago.
You think the hammerhead shark or the barreleye fish are weirdly built, right? But, then you hear about animals like the ancient Dunkleosteus or the giant sea scorpion,
and you’re probably like, “Wow I am so glad I didn’t live in a time
where 8-foot swimming scorpions and fish with blades for teeth existed.”
Millions of years ago, the sea was kind of a free-for-all in terms of what nightmare animals lived there. Take, for instance, the Stethacanthus, a shark with spikes on its head and dorsal fin.
And it’s the weirdest-looking dorsal fin you’ll ever see…
