For 38 monotonous years I have lived here in the Arctic Ocean. I have been through it all and seen some pretty insane things in my day. I have 43 children that have grown up and now have families of their own. I invested more than half my life to them and taught them all I know. I now feel as if I have nothing to do, they were my everything. I am now feeling lonely and bored, just waiting for the day I die.

As I lie on this gate and gaze at the beautiful scenery around me, out of the corner of my eye I see something astounding. She was perched on a glacier with the sun beaming off of her. I had never seen such an elegant walrus in my life. I decided to swim over and introduce myself, we ended up talking all night. The whole night I was grinning from ear to ear.  It was one of the most perfect days I have had in a while. We now meet at the gate every day to look at the scenery and talk. I have a new found beginning in my life and I am elated for the future.
