“Men may sail the seas for a lifetime and seldom, if ever, come in contact with the nightmare monsters that inhabit the caves and cliffs of the ocean floor. It was a foul sight, an obscene growth from the dark places of the world, where incessant hunger is the driving force.”
– William Outserson, Monster Mix
I’ve always been afraid to swim in lakes and oceans if I couldn’t see what was below me. The other day I even felt nervous by the seafood counter at the grocery store, because the king crab legs were so big. I started to wonder what an entire king crab looked like, and then I was unable to wait in the line for sushi, because the whole thing was creepin’ me out.
