Huge thanks to Martin for this lovely story.
Just read the final chapter of ‘Walrus’. What a touching end to a great story. I must admit that after five chapters I’m feeling quite affectionate towards what is essentially a large leathery sea creature with lethal tusks. Thanks to Martin for donating his story to our website sand our fundraiser (one lucky donor will receive a signed manuscript of ‘Walrus’). Wrrrr!
