For some reason I always thought it was Penguin People because of Penguin Publishing house (like for those who love books).

Couldn't help but notice Sebastian say "once there was a real me...." like in your bio 🙂

This chapters got Easter eggs lol from the first time I read your bio, I was intrigued — to see it pop up here was cool (which came first ?) and the Pinguinos

I was an EMT for nine years. Sometimes hospitals will ask ambulance crews to enter through back entrances or on rare occasions the freight elevators meant for heavy equipment. They're huge and noisy, and chug from one floor to the next. One night I took the stretcher back to the freight elevator. When the doors slid open I found sardines spread across the floor and walls of the elevator. It was creepy to have all those little eyes staring at me. I went back to get my partner. When she arrived of course the sardines were gone. She turned to me and said "Even the Penguin People have to eat."
