#§§§¤*/-:¨ 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. ¨:-/*¤§###
