The red glow of the unwonted fire, crimsoning the wet sides of the cavern, seemed to attract countless blisterous and transparent shapelessnesses, which elongated themselves towards him.

All the horrible unseen life of the ocean seemed to be rising up and surrounding him.
The other portion flaps back, forming a thick mane or hunch upon the shoulders.
