Fish

Edgar Allen Poe looked up at the sky and wondered why it wasn't bright with stars. If the universe is infinite, there should be a point of light for every point of sky.

When I was younger, I thought it was strange to see dead fish floating upside down beneath the surface of the water. I've seen dead fish in ponds and in the ocean. But it always seemed to me that there should be a layer of dead fish covering the surface of the ocean, rotting on top of it. I understand that fish are eaten by other fish. But what about whales? And sharks? When they're not beached on the shore, do they float along the surface of the ocean? Do they become temporary islands?
