Island of Fantasy

There's an Island I know which is surrounded by a deep, blue ocean, filled with mermaids, Lochness monsters, giant octopuses, and dolphins that can talk! Within the Island, we have folks of all kind, who have met somehow through time.... Genghis Khan is an architect; he's doing something different and peaceful, rather than attacking his fellow Islanders. Cleopatra is a great chef, making all kinds of sea delicacies the Nile will never know about. Darwin is still an archaeologist; he has dry bones hidden in his research lab; he's convinced some Islanders may have vampire genes in them! Fishermen love Elvis. He sings so well the fish jump into the nets in their hundreds. "No Elvis, No Fishing!" is their motto. A great number of electric eels are missing, and no Islander knows why.... Tesla is secretly making electricity from marine life without a Wildlife Warrant. Yes, the Island is full of strange people and things which seem normal and usual to them. I always carry the Island with me, like the mythical Giant Turtle. The Island is in my thoughts....
