¤**†,¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨=†*¤
