§&&&§/^^¨¨ something lies glowing ¨¨^^/§&&&§
@§§/-^¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨^-/§&§@##

§&////^^^¨ ¨^^^////&§
@§§§-¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨^^/§&§§@
