No Reason To Be Greedy
Sally decorated her caves with statues and vases that had fallen to the ocean floor from shipwrecks over the centuries. She loved her figurehead collection.
But ships didn’t have figureheads anymore and there were hardly any shipwrecks these days. To get something new, she had to shop for herself. Drifting up to the Mediterranean, she saw many interesting statues along the coast.
I’ll take just one this trip, she thought. No reason to be greedy. Sally the giant octopus surfaced and, extending two arms, delicately removed the statue from the top of the monument.
She didn’t even hear the screams.
It's a long story ... 
Thank god she doesn’t have a taste for humans. Intersting take on the prompt.
Humans, they just don’t last very long as undersea decorations!
Great visual. Very Jules Vern 🙂

Such whimsy and fun in this piece! Nice job.
Thanks! Hope some of those tourists had their cameras out!
Fun piece.
I just hope Moby Dick doesn’t start collecting items, also.

Poor Sally. She doesn’t realize people think she’s a monster. She just loves art. A fun take on the prompt, Tresha. Well done. 😀 — Suzanne
Eight-armed marine art collector? Very imaginative!
⭐ Tay.
This is fantastical! I love that she wants to decorate. And why shouldn’t she?
She had all those ancient artifacts and just needed something new to round out her collection.
Hehehe, that’s funny. Sally is quite the stylish giant squid, decorating her cave like that.
Great story! Very clever and Sally the Octopus is pretty sneaky. Good job! Nan 🙂
