The Octopus’ last dance.
“You know, they have three hearts, and their arms basically have a mind of their own. About two-thirds of their neurons reside in their arms. Oh, and their brain is donut-shaped, it’s wrapped around his esophagus.”

Technical Error
The Phone I remember when I could remember phone numbers, but now I don't have to because my phone remembers every number for me. Not only that, those numbers are backed up to “The Cloud” in case I lose my phone and have to get a replacement, so, in theory, I have space in my brain to remember other things, in theory! (I know I repeated myself there).

The Fishbowl Effect
It started with a text. Sabrina opened it, read it- and fled. Run. Sometimes, running feels like escaping- darting through a world of possibilities, all better than what you're leaving behind.

An Invitation from beyond?
I know that boxes cannot fly. I must be dreaming. Be it dream or reality, this box was flying towards me, tiny propellers beneath outstretched wings. I ran, but it chased me, caught up to me, and.........................,bang, bang, bang. Loud knocking?

In the Glass
Few of the night-men at the aquarium in Randers ever held ambitions of diving down more than six feet, much less spending a night in the massive aquatic environment which wrapped around the weaving halls they were hired to tend. But there was one called Vulgate who did harbor such desires.

The Mournful Eyes of the Octopus
When a 35 year old father of two dropped dead from a stroke in front of the octopus tank, the aquarium closed early for the day. With a pang of schadenfreude Jack was able to get a jump-start on his cleaning duties, though there wasn’t much to look forward to if he finished ahead of schedule, save a few extra hours of solitary darkness and some extra, pointless screen time alone in his apartment.

The Memory of a Goldfish
The concept of collective unconscious, commonly known as "Genetic Memory," is still mostly theoretical, but we see evidence of it in the animal kingdom, especially in fish.

On the Other Side
Anita was absolutely terrified; she had no idea where she was. Panicking, the child whirled in place, observing her new surroundings. This place looked a bit like home. There were mountains, and plants, and caves that resembled the world she knew. And yet, there was something not quite right about it. An intangible difference, a strangeness that Anita could feel inside her bones.

Planet Tetro ~ Page 87
We continued to travel through the alleyway until it ended . Once the alleyway ended we decided to take the back roads . Everything was fairly quiet until we came upon a small field . We decided to cross it quickly , and started to sprint when we got to the middle of the field . A strong wind started to circle the field . Next thing we knew we were trapped in a green dome of vicious wind . Visceroy looked at me and said , "what the hell is this ?" I replied to him . " I know as much as you . Which is almost nothing my friend ." We then both looked around bracing for an enemy to show up .

Planet Tetro ~ Page 86
Yes , I thought to myself . That must have been Visceroy . He just sent Royce flying with his giant staff attack . The way Royce was sent flying through those trees . Im sure that he's not getting up any time soon . Sure enough I saw him running up to where I was still standing in shock . He started to speak to me when he arrived . "Hey Bright , sorry if I was late . I noticed you guys fighting , but I had to fight through a few foot soldiers myself . I can sense the others by their scents . Their magical pressures all seem faint though ." I told him no problem he came just in time . I let him know that I had confidence that our friends would be just fine . They were just knocked out at the worst . I did want to check them out and make sure they were not gravely injured . He agreed with me and we gathered them in one spot . Lillandra was in the best shape . She had blood coming out of her mouth but she could sit up , everyone else was knocked out cold .
