##¶§**†~,¨ 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 ¨,~†**§¶##
##¶§**†~,¨ 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. ¨,~†*§¶###
