34

I dreamt that I was with my sister and we were going to a pet adoption drive. Victoria Beckham was the guest-of-honour and she came out holding a signboard with some words written on it. Nobody clapped until we broke the silence and it was just sad and awkward for her. We headed in, and the first thing on our right were tables each with a cat on them, generally well fed and groomed. All around there were colourful birds and tropical fish in glass bowls.

Wondering about the next section something caught my eye, a were generally medium to large tank situated below another tank of fish, and there were two creatures inside. Shaped like a crocodile's but with bodies the size of an adult Maltese dog. They were peering me, one in white, the other black with dark mosaic patterns on it's back. I placed my finger near the edge of the tank, half afraid that it might get snapped off, half darkly fascinated by these unique creatures. The black one used its snout to push against my finger and reached it's limbs towards me. I carried the black one on the floor, the texture of it wasn't scaly or even hard, it felt just like a seal's or a wet dog's short haired fur and smooth to the touch. Its body was firm and legs stouty and cute. I played and carried it around for what seemed like hours wishing I could bring it home but it was a whopping 300 bucks, at an adoption drive. I wanted to know what they were and the sign attached to the tank said 'Giant Monaka'

By the time I put the lovely weird animal back in, it was past 3am and my sister was nowhere to be found, neither could her cell be reached. One of the best dreams in a terrifically long time.
