A narrator recalls a fevered scheme to crossbreed animals into a new diplodocus. Vertigo and the speaker build a vast valley zoo with elephants, rhinoceroses, and kangaroos, chasing fame and fortune as the creature grows colossal. The project spirals from euphoria to peril as power and pride collide.
A surreal escapade unfolds as a narrator recounts chaos during a midsummer hunt at the Mare pocus handicap. A sudden collapse of the house, a swarm of injured creatures, and a wild chase on a wagon-like contraption lead to a dramatic escape. The tale then follows a long journey through California and Texas, ending with a bizarre revival service in San Antonio and a postscript about Vertigo’s fate and a lingering question of return.
