Description

An intrepid squim makes the brave journey out from under the ice shelf, it prepares itself for the warm embrace of the sun's rays. As it finishes sunbathing and its body reaches a more optimal temperature, it spots that familiar yellow hue that it knows to mean food. It moves closer rightfully excited as large energy-dense xanthophytes are rare in its habitat. As it reaches the border of a floating forest it selects a meal and closes in, until suddenly it is stopped. It recoils in pain as if several tiny mouths have taken bites out of its body. It attempts to swim away only for its fins to fail as its body is paralyzed. Unable to escape the lowly squim has been captured, fooled by what to the squim was an indistinguishable mimic. The squim's journey has ended. As the mimic finishes its meal it ceases all movement and awaits its next victim.
