You are a squid.

An intelligent being crawling on the bottom of the darkest ocean.

The only light you’ve ever known are the speckles of the bioluminescent plankton.

You cannot comprehend the sunlight. The days. An entire world above you surrounded by constant light.

You are a squid.

You are surviving. Hunting. Sleeping. Camoflouging.

You cannot comprehend that there are other intelligent beings physically separated from you.

Other intelligent beings who have built a civilization and harnessed the light. Beings who effect your ocean for better and worse.

The only difference between you and the squid is that one day you will conquer the pressure of the deep and see the surface.

One day you will know sunlight. You will see the things beyond your comprehension. Beyond your deep sea.

You will rise above the waters and feel warmth for the first time.

But for now, you are a squid.

Take comfort, Little One. You will not drown. The bottom is not forever.
