Daily Reminder - Their Games Are Never Fun For Us


With evil intentions, the fierce kraken, legendary sea monster of unimaginable, gargantuan proportions, reaches purposefully and demonically for the doomed passengers aboard the day-trip dirigible.

The kraken legends are thought to have originated from the rare sightings of giant squids, which are normally deep-sea dwellers and can grow to over 50 feet in length.
