Law of the Briny Deep

Dare you mock me here in my Ocean of Emotion? For I am the Great Neptune, and the Great Neptune never cries! Or at least you can't see me crying because I'm always underwater. Here, in my Ocean of Emotion.

Are you a tourboat filled with fat American tourists? HI MOM, HI DAD, LOOK AT ME NOW, LOOK WHAT I BECAME, I BECAME THE GREAT NEPTUNE, KING OF THE SEA, KING OF THE OCEAN OF EMOTION.

(Insert patient awakening to lucidity for a moment, just as the ocean becomes his blankets, his tormentors become a delicious pie, and his memories of "the dream before" vanish quicker than water vapor.)
