Kingfish

Had a dream last night that a kingfish somehow managed to escape from his tank, and started to dance around my bedroom. All he was wearing were some silver scales, and an expensive Italian bowtie.
He was the shiniest fish I'd ever seen.

As he tried to regale me with his dance moves I sat, on the edge of my bed, frozen in awe. He just kept winking at me while all his comrade fish were stuck in the tank, glaring at him with envy.

Minutes later, someone walks into the room, and identifies himself as a doctor. He finds me lost in wonder. "Watch out for those kingfish," he says, "if you get too close, he'll bite you. If he bites, you won't survive."
