''158'' 〃Actually; they werent。 When I dissected one; I found that it lacked several important structures。 Theres a nerve bundle called the stellate ganglion that wasnt there。〃

〃Well 。。。〃

〃And there were no gills; Norman。 Squid possess a long gill structure for gas exchange。 This one didnt have one。 The squid had no way to breathe; Norman。〃

〃It must have had a way to breathe。〃

〃Im telling you; it didnt。 Were seeing impossible animals down here。 All of a sudden; impossible animals。〃

She turned away from the high…intensity lamp; and he saw that she was close to tears。 Her hands were shaking; she quickly dropped them into her lap。 〃Youre really worried;〃 he said。

〃Arent you?〃 She searched his face。 〃Norman;〃 she said; 〃all this started when Harry came out of the sphere; didnt it?〃

〃I guess it did。〃

〃Harry came out of the sphere; and now we have impossible sea life。 。。。 I dont like it。 I wish we could get out of here。 I really do。〃 Her lower lip was trembling。

He gave her a hug and said gently; 〃We cant get out of here。〃

〃I know;〃 she said。 She hugged him back; and began to cry; pushing her face into his shoulder。

〃Its all right。 。。。〃

〃I hate it when I get this way;〃 she said。 〃I hate this feeling。〃

〃I know。 。。。。。 。

And I hate this place。 I hate everything about it。 I hate Barnes and I hate Teds lectures and I hate Levys stupid desserts。 I wish I wasnt here。〃

〃I know。 。。。〃

She sniffled for a moment; then abruptly pushed him away with her strong arms。 She turned away; wiped her eyes。 〃Im all right;〃 she said。 〃Thanks。〃

〃Sure;〃 he said。

She remained turned away; her back to him。 〃Wheres the ''159'' damn Kleenex?〃 She found one; blew her nose。 〃You wont say anything to the others。 。。。〃

〃Of course not。〃

A bell rang; startling her。 〃Jesus; whats that?〃

〃I think its dinner;〃 Norman said。

DINNER

〃I dont know how you can eat those things;〃 Harry said; pointing to the squid。

〃Theyre delicious;〃 Norman said。 〃Sautéed squid。〃 As soon as he had sat at the table; he became aware of how hungry he was。 And eating made him feel better; there was a reassuring normalcy about sitting at a table; with a knife and fork in his hands。 It was almost possible to forget where he was。

〃I especially like them fried;〃 Tina said。

〃Fried calamari;〃 Barnes said。 〃Wonderful。 My favorite。〃

〃I like them fried; too;〃 Edmunds; the archivist; said。 She sat primly; very erect; eating her food precisely。 Norman noticed that she put her knife down between bites。

〃Why arent these fried?〃 Norman said。

〃We cant deep…fry down here;〃 Barnes said。 〃The hot oil forms a suspensi
