##@&§§†«~¨ something lies glowing ¨~«†§§&@##
@§†~~~~¨¨¨ on the ocean floor... ¨¨¨~~~~†§@
##@&§§†«~¨ ¨¨ ¨¨ ¨~«†§§&@##
##@&§§†«~¨ ¨¨~~««††¨ ¨††««~~¨¨ ¨~«†§§&@##

@§††††««~¨ §§§&&§§§ ¨~««††††§@
##@&§§†«~¨ ¨~«†§§&@##
##@&§§†«~¨ 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 ¨~«†††§§
##@&§§†«~¨ are dripping with fire. with its song, ¨~«†§§&@##
##@&§§†«~¨ 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 ¨~«†§§&@##
@@@&§§†«~¨ be shared, shared with others. ¨~«†§§&@@@
###@§§†«~¨ ¨~«†§§@###
@@@&§§†«~¨ and the creatures of the sea creep ¨~«†§§&@@@
##@&§§†«~¨ closer, hypnotized and curious, and the ¨~«†§§&@##
@&§§§†«¨¨¨ sludge extends a hand, and they take it, ¨¨¨«†§§§&@
###@&§†«~¨ ¨~«†§&@###
##@&§§†«~¨ writhing with joy, accepts them all. ¨~«†§§&@##
&§§†~¨¨¨¨¨ they step inside, taking the shape of a ¨¨¨¨¨~†§§&
&§§§§†~¨¨¨ 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. ¨~«†§§##
