###&%^*-,¨ on the ocean floor, a dangerous and ¨,-*^%##
###&%^*-,¨ caustic and sweet sweet thing, it ¨,-*^%##
&&^^*,,¨¨¨ glows, it lures you closer. a creature! ¨¨¨,,*^^&&
##%^^**-,¨ ¨,-**^^%##
&^*-¨¨¨¨¨¨ it's almost otter-like, but like lava, ¨¨¨¨¨¨-*^&
###&%^*-,¨ a liquid shaped like a living thing, ¨,-*^%##
###&%^*-,¨ and when it raises an arm, its fingers ¨,-*^%##

#%^*--,¨¨¨ it lures you closer yet. ¨¨¨,--*^%#

#&%%*,¨¨¨¨ it's in a state of bliss! it's a flame, ¨¨¨¨,*%%
&&^^-,,,¨¨ lit by the sun! and this pleasure is to ¨¨,,,-^^&&

###&%^*-,¨ ¨,-*^%##
###&%^*-,¨ writhing with joy, accepts them all. ¨,-*^%##

#&^^-¨¨¨¨¨ squirming otter, now a stretching cat, ¨¨¨¨¨-^^
###&%^*-,¨ now almost humanoid. although suddenly ¨,-*^%##
&%*,¨¨¨¨¨¨ it all liquifies completely, now just a ¨¨¨¨¨¨,*%&
###&%^*-,¨ burning puddle, lit not by the sun, but ¨,-*^%##
####%^*-,¨ by some internal fuel hostile to life. ¨,-*^%####
