I woke up on a dirt floor hearing a variety of noises. I looked up air filling my lungs wait air where am I.
I looked around there were bars made out of a twisted wood. Through them I saw similar cages of various sizes each holding a Splitian!
Debrah looked through the bars at me "good your awake" she said "the Collector would like to see you when you are up and about. Debrah grabbed my cage with her many limbs and moved me across the floor. They passed doors and rooms filled with weird things. We stopped in front of a door and Deborah pulled on a orange jumpsuit shoving half her legs in one sleeve and the other half in the other. Then we entered a grand hall filled a huge crowd of Splitians half in shackles. Deborah dropped me before a big chair sitting a human in a similar jumpsuit with badges showing rank,
"Ah a Beluga," he spoke in a foreign accent, "I haven't got my hands on one of you before, very good Zookeeper Deborah of Ocean Island for your magnificent achievements." Deborah gave a funky bow in her jumpsuit and stepped back.
"Now what to do with you?" The man in the chair said looking to me "you are to small to go with with whales yet to big for the fishes..." he paused thinking "Put it in its own cage in the unique room," and with that Deborah wheeled the cafe out if the room and shut the door.  We went pass more rooms, passing more strange objects. We entered a room nearly as big as the last cages adorned the ceiling and scattered the floor. Deborah the zookeeper set me down on top of an empty tank, pausing to get out of the illfitting jumpsuit.


"Welcome home" she said and pulling the cage door. Leaving me falling into unknown waters full of strangers
