Watch The Sun Go Down On Galway Bay

Amadeus Emanon stood on the shores of Galway Bay and felt the soothing water wash his feet on the sands.

He watched Renfield R. Renfield casting a fishing line.

Amadeus didn't understand what they were doing in Galway Bay.

That morning at the London home of the millionaire (and formerly billionaire) ancient Egyptian vampire Set, Renfield suddenly announced to Amadeus that they were flying from London to Dublin and then from Dublin, they were catching a small private plane to Galway.

"Is this a mission for the boss?" Amadeus asked Renfield (the boss referring to the vampire Set).

"Keep quiet and don't ask questions," Renfield snarled.

So Amadeus didn't ask any questions during the trip.

On the flight across the Irish Sea on the Aer Lingus plane, Amadeus only answered questions.

Every time the very attractive Irish stewardess asked Amadeus if he wanted another Guinness, Amadeus answered yes.

So Amadeus was feeling extremely happy as they took the private plane trip from Dublin to Galway.

As Amadeus sang, "You can sit and watch the moon rise over Cladagh and see the sun go down on Galway Bay,"
Renfield buried his head in his hands and immediately regretted buying that old Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers LP record as a present for the genetic clone's last birthday.

Now they were on Galway Bay and Renfield was eyeing the waters here anxiously.

"You know it isn't nightfall yet," Amadeus called out to Renfield, "how are we going to watch the moon rise over Cladagh and watch the sun go down on Galway Bay?".

Renfield motioned for Amadeus to shhh, "You'll disturb the mer... I mean fishes."

"Mer?" Amadeus looked quizzical, "oh, I guess mer is the Latin word for sea although it's spelled m-a-r-e."

Amadeus looked over to the shore and noticed a path going up towards a park.

A sign by the path said, "Absolutely NO bicycles on this path."

Amadeus counted 9,088 bicycles coming down the path by the time nightfall was approaching.

He looked up into the sky and then in the direction of Cladagh on the other side of the Bay, "Hey look boss (for he sometimes called Renfield boss whereas Set was THE boss), the moon's rising over Cladagh..."

"Quiet, you fool..." Renfield was struggling with something in his net.

Amadeus looked. It appeared to be a very beautiful topless woman with long red hair and a wonderfully luxurious pair of knockers. And the lower part of her body was... a fin.

It was... a mermaid.

So that's why Renfield came here.

Renfield loved to eat mermaids.

Eating mermaids was another feature of Renfield that Amadeus detested.

Renfield had probably been surfing the web and had encountered a story about a mermaid being here in Galway Bay.

So that explained the sudden rush to this part of Ireland.

Renfield now had the lovely redheaded mermaid safely in his net.

Amadeus looked around for something with which he could stop Renfield and help the mermaid.

He noticed a bottle of Guinness floating in the Bay with a message inside, IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, BREAK GLASS.

Amadeus picked up the bottle of Guinness and broke it over Renfield's head.

Renfield fell face forward into the water.

Amadeus freed the mermaid from the net.

The beautiful redheaded mermaid flashed Amadeus a lovely smile, blew him a kiss and then swam southward out to sea.

Meanwhile a group of Irishmen came rushing out of a pub on the beach and dove into the water around Renfield and started drinking the seawater.

"We can't allow that Guinness to go to waste," explained one of the Irishmen.

Amadeus would have been content to let the mermaid-eating Renfield drown but a group of Irishmen had raised Renfield up out of the water and started licking the Guinness out of his hair much to Renfield's extreme displeasure and discomfort.

Amadeus in the meantime looked up at the sky.

And watched the sun go down on Galway Bay.

To be continued.
