If I had the cash I would definitely get Abby the Sea Monkey. It is a large piece and has a great story. What is the story for That Darn Thing by the way? Travis always includes great tidbits and stories for every piece.

That Darn Thing
After a dry spell in Devil's Bend, North Dakota, the floaters starting coming back.
It was a strange season for floaters, fore they lacked hair and leaves. They made strange noises when they flew over the fields. As they circled over the fields, they all gathered around one very small floater who spoke. He could only speak while he was moving. As air passed through the hole in the back of it's spherical body, it vibrated the tendrils, like vocal chords.
It was rather nasty. It seemed to eavesdrop on farmers personal lives and spread rumors like
farmer Steve's weakness for single-malt scotch, the town accessor's unfair appraisal of property based on party lines, or the mayor's misappropriation of funds. He was quoted in the local paper, "That darn thing has painted the whole town with suspicions"
