###@@^\~~. .~~\^@@###
##@@@^\~~. 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 ....~~\^@@

##@@@^\~~. 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. ~~\^@@@###
