The tentacle gripped the leg of the irate consumer. It had appeared moments earlier, fumbling on the deck of the rowboat like a blind man seeking his coffee mug.
First it had located the oars and, with a subdued splash, sunk them beneath the waves.
He had watched. But now he waggled his aggrieved limb, and clung to the sides of the rowboat. He clung, but the tentacle was dragging him from his seat.
He mused. Hadn’t it been a good idea to recycle his toner? Yet the website instructions had been so vague. Was not putting it back in the octopus the right idea?
The salt water covered his knee. The tentacle’s grip was iron.
Perhaps not, he mused. Perhaps not.
