#¨#¨##¨#¨# £ the water crawls toward us, £ #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨

#¨#¨##¨#¨# *-----------------------------* #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨¨#¨#¨# #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨##¨#¨# it's a girl stingray, gorgeous, #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨¨#¨#¨# covered in what's left of her prey. #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨##¨#¨# she smiles at us, flashing her teeth, #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨¨#¨#¨# a ray of stings. #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨##¨#¨# #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨¨#¨#¨# a bit later she summons a mink and #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨##¨#¨# shows us how to gut it. #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨¨#¨#¨# #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨##¨#¨# - #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨¨#¨#¨# #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨##¨#¨# you hold it firmly in one hand, belly #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨¨#¨#¨# exposed, and with a dagger cut through #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨##¨#¨# the skin starting at the guts, moving #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨¨#¨#¨# up over the ribcage, towards the head. #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨##¨#¨# #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨¨#¨#¨# next you can just stick your hand #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨##¨#¨# inside, grab and pull (hold the cut #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨¨#¨#¨# downard at this point) and it should #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨##¨#¨# all be falling out. for sticky organs #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨¨#¨#¨# you might have to use the dagger again. #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨##¨#¨# #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨¨#¨#¨# then wash the mink in running water or #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨##¨#¨# snow. and you're done! #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
