I follow Walt's voice around the side of the tank and find him standing next to a 350 pound whale-of-a-man. The guy is lounging shirtless in a folding chair, sipping an umbrella drink. He's frightfully pale, a condition magnified by dark oil stains smeared across his face. Layer after folding layer, his stomach hangs down over his swimming trunks. "Walt--" I point toward the fat guy. "--you see him too, right?" The man's blubber shakes as he laughs. He sips his daiquiri through a crazy-straw, looks from Walt to me. "Nah, I'm just a figment of your imagination, kid. What, you were expecting a hookah-smoking caterpillar?"
