##@&§*\~~. 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. ....~\§&&&
