###&%§=~:¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨~=%%%&

##%=~¨¨¨¨¨ lit by the sun! and this pleasure is to ¨¨¨¨¨~=%##
&§~~:¨¨¨¨¨ be shared, shared with others. ¨¨¨¨¨:~~§&
###&%§=~:¨ ¨:~=§%&###
###&%§=~:¨ and the creatures of the sea creep ¨:~=§%&###

###&%§=~:¨ 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 ¨:~~====%#
