A page from Mr seahorse, which reads: But before long, Mr seahorse met another fish. "How are you Mr. Tilapia?" Asked Mr. seahorse. Mr. Tilapia couldn't answer. His mouth was full of eggs.

i loved "good one" (india donaldson, 2024). it could fit somewhere alongside aftersun/janet planet. or in a series about terrible, ordinary men. also A+ orange titles.
