In the obsidian depths, where light is but a forgotten whisper, the mighty octopus sits, pondering.
Its mind, a labyrinth of ink and shadows, contemplates the existential dread of mollusk theatre.
"To stick, or not to stick..." mused the cephalopod, tentacles twiddling in an uneasy mockery of Hamlet.
For in this Gothic aquarium, the bubbles form dialogues—sketches of a disaster brewing within.
Once, a crab scuttled across the stage, a hapless actor with a love for drama and a shell too thick to crack.
"Oh! Shrieking eels!" cried the octopus, channeling his inner poltergeist, "Beware the flounder in disguise!"
And so, with dramatic flourish, it painted the water with vivid tales of calamity and comedic demise.
But who would write such a script?
The answer came not from the abyss, but from a nearby rock—a hermit crab's unintended soliloquy.

And thus, the octopus, with a mind too vast for simple folly, continued its contemplation.
The stage was set, the audience unwitting, and the punchline—that too was a cephalopod.
