“Meanwhile, the child was gazing intently, wordlessly, at the underwater world. Perhaps a child could conjure up what he wanted to see from what was reflected on his retinas.”
― Yūko Tsushima, Of Dogs and Walls

David Grimstone
“There were rumours of underwater cities, subterranean caves dripping with the blood of human sacrifice and even the odd story about natives interbreeding with some of the more attractive fish.”
― David Grimstone, Shoal: A Thanet Writers Anthology
