Synopsis
SpiderLegs tells us for thousands of years, mankind has simultaneously trusted in the sea's provibial generosity, and used it as a dumping ground, trusting that in its vastness his garbage will be swallowed up and forgotten. But that was never really true, and now, in an age when the overcrowded Earth swarms with hungry inhabitants whose waste chokes with even the sea, whose greedy demands overtax its seemingly endless bounty, strange things are born in the ocean's deeps-strange things that the ocean throws back upon the land.
