Also I will be naked. They seem to eminate an electric blue glow from their tentacles that calls to me in ways no human lover ever could. Just wait my lovelies… our time will come. But you can’t tell anyone about this… mankind isn’t ready for our love.

That is why I am fiercely jealous of the people of Toyama Bay on the west coast of Japan. Not only are they graced with mirages on a regular basis thanks to accidents of temperature – the ocean, filled with snow, is so much colder than the warm air above it that people see forests of shimmering silver “trees” on the horizon – from now until June they can take sightseeing boats into the bay to see the famous cobalt-blue bioluminescent Firefly Squid rising to the water’s surface. I don’t believe in God, but if I wanted to argue for his existence, I’d hold up these exquisite glowing creatures as Exhibit A.
