Alice's Day at Sea
About Alice's Day at Sea
On the beach a sailor tells Alice of a ship taken by a giant octopus. She sleeps in a boat and dreams the ship sinks to a floor where fish dance and Julius walks kitten-fish on leashes. A huge fish swallows her taxicab; she wrecks it from inside, then an octopus grabs her. She wakes tangled in a fishnet, and the sailor pulls her free.
