The Fifth Day
Whhiiiiiii Whiiiyyiihhiiii! Grant’s albatross alarm clock went off, signalling the start a new day. Today was the day. Today was when all his live animals would arrive in preparation of their opening day to the public tomorrow. Sluggishly sitting up and stifling a yawn, he walked over the glass floor in his bedroom, overlooking the ocean with all its natural beauty. All manner of fish and wildlife swam under him; the room had been built deep in the ocean, giving a full view of the watery depths as one slept. The washroom had some privacy, as relieving oneself or showering with a group of fish watching you was quite awkward. It had been a long twenty years slowly building this wildlife resort, starting with picking the perfect spot and buying the land. Then came the backbreaking work of digging, foundation laying and structural building. Grant exited his residence and looked happily at the resort which was almost near completion. He had always had a fascination with wildlife, reading multiple encyclopedias as a child, describing nearly every creature known to man. With a jaw-dropping sized aviary and one of the largest aquariums in the world, The Five, as the resort was known, would premier as the best place to see wildlife in as close as a natural state as possible.
