Octopuses can be crazy in love too



It is a lovely, gorgeous, sunny day in Greece, there is a pink octopus and an orange one, and they are deeply in love. They are hugging and holding on to each other in a fish tank that is in a fish shop. Both of them seem so at peace and comfortable when all of a sudden someone’s hand reaches into the tank very aggressively and takes both of them out and puts the orange one back in the tank in a flash. This one, filled with horror, presses himself onto the glass of the tank, so he can see what will happen to his significant other. Meanwhile, the same person weighs her, and later puts her in a chilly bin which is then taken outside of the shop by another man.

         The octopus that is left in the tank keeps watching everything very attentively. He watches as the man takes the chilly bin. He then realizes that on the van there is a very disturbing image for him. There is a black octopus and below it there are two butcher knives. This is very unsettling for him because he imagines a huge, evil man, who chops up the pink octopus into little bits and pieces. He loses his mind while the man who is basically kidnapping his partner, gets into the van, placing the chilly bin on the seat next to him. All of this is too much for the octopus that is left behind, and he somehow manages to jump out of the tank and frantically drags himself across the floor, leaving a wet trail behind him.

         At the same time that this is happening, the man turns the van’s engine on and starts driving away. The octopus jumps and barely manages to grab on to the back of the van. The vehicle whizzes through white and blue streets of Greece as the octopus moves across it, pops up at the window opposite of the driver and scares him. The animal opens the chilly bin with his tentacles, but the man brutally punches him. This doesn’t make the octopus fall, it only makes it hold on to the van with more strength, to the surprise of the man. The man then keeps hitting the animal, with no luck because this makes him lose control of the van and crash into the tables, chairs and sunshades that were on the street. Then, the octopus flies on the windshield of the van, completely out of the blue. This makes the driver turn the windshield wipers on, causing the orange octopus to be dragged back and forth on the windshield. As this is going on, the pink octopus takes advantage of the fact that the man is busy, and puts the emergency break on. This is when the van starts to spiral out of control, throwing both octopuses out the window, leaving them on the street and on the low wall.

         They start to run away as fast as they can, however, the man sees them, and begins to drive in their direction. Meanwhile, the now reunited couple, falls into a swimming pool. They swim, jump, and land in another pool. They do this several times, bounce on a sunshade and on a beach ball while the man drives next to the houses very angrily. As the couple is flying through the air, the man catches them both, but as a consequence, loses control of the van once again. This makes him angrier and he starts banging the octopuses against the roof of the van until one of them squirts a black substance into his eyes, then, the man lets go of them and they are left tangling on a street cable. Next, the man tries to keep driving but instead, the van falls off a small cliff and into the sea, with the man included.

         The relieved octopuses look at each other, their eyes full of relief and love, when suddenly, a seagull comes along and flies away with the orange octopus. After this, an incredibly determined pink octopus flings herself into the air so as to be with her partner again, and not let anything make them be apart again.
