[Bernard de Maillet, eighteenth-century French consul and
cosmologist/naturalist claimed that] billions of years ago … a
great sea had covered the earth. All life came into being in that
ocean. Some intermediate forms of sea-human species still swam
in the sea; some walked on land, living as exiles, hiding their sea
tails. He had even seen them with his own eyes.—Rebecca Stott, Darwin’s Ghosts
Stacy tumbled down from center stage at a Halloween
B&D fetish ball, and everyone assumed the pain
was only from the fall, but she refused

whatever was wrong was deep and serious, a matter
not of bruises but of organs, and so 911 was called.
They arrived to find a 27-year-old woman
in skintight crimson latex—not feeling devilish,
although the costume was lavishly horned and tailed.
