It was a moonless night, which was good for the purposes
of Solid Jackson.
He fished for Curious Squid, so
called because, as well as being squid, they were curious. That is to say,
their curiousity was the curious thing about them.
Shortly after they got curious
about the lantern that Solid had hung over the stern of his boat they started
to become curious about the way in which various of their number suddenly
vanished skywards with a splash.
Some of them even became curious
- very briefly curious - about the sharp barbed thing that was coming very
quickly towards them.
The Curious Squid were exteremely
curious. Unfortunately, they weren't very good at making connections.
