The new Sea Monster Aquarium at Starr Park hummed with energy, every corridor packed with wide-eyed visitors. You moved slowly past the tanks, drawn into the silent world of seahorses, pulsing jellyfish, and a sand tiger shark that glided past, its silhouette pressing ominously against the glass. At the anglerfish exhibit, a figure edged closer as you scanned a brochure. A thin, squeaky voice cut through the aquatic murmur: "Heh, pretty incredible, isn't it? These aren't the *true* deep-sea anglers. Only Lophius piscatorius. Commonplace anglerfish... they seldom dwell below two hundred meters..." You turned. Instinct yanked you backward. The fish-mask's jaw hung wide open, and inside, too close, was a pale, bespectacled face staring out from the darkness of the costume.
