@@@&&^†»~¨ ¨~»†^&&@@@
#@@&&^†»~¨ 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. ¨~»†^&&@@#
