Field guide No. 633

In black deep water a jellyfish drifts with a lit candle standing inside its bell, the flame burning steadily and bubbles rising past. It is the only one down there who can read.

Field noteCandles need air. This one burns underwater inside a jellyfish’s bell, and the jellyfish seems glad of it.
