Australia's beaver-like, duck-billed platypus exhibits an array of bizarre characteristics: it lays eggs instead of giving birth to live babies, sweats milk, has venomous spurs and is even equipped with 10 sex chromosomes.

Am I bizarre?

Are you not?

Look in the mirror.

Sense the storm.

There is nothing bizarre besides the things that are gone.

Listen to yourself.

Listen to the wind at the end.

Whispering.

I am the storm!

I am bizarre!

(Why are you not scared at all?)

I will soon be gone...
