Thanks for following "Squids In" from conception. As a reward, here is a video of an octopus existing outside the water.

Super floppy huh?  Turns out that octopus’s can exist for only several minutes out of water, so I’m going to have to narrate my way around that little tidbit. Maybe a waterproof game controller...? Looks like these guys managed this effect by putting the controlled in a ziplock bag:

I’ve just uploaded the beginning of chapter one "First Encounter" so please go check it out, comment and share if you like where I am going with this.

As you may gather, I’m writing this on-the-fly for the Nerdist "Video-Game" competition so your feedback is definitely appreciated. I’m eager to place well but know that such a thing will only happen with your help and support.

Thanks for reading. I hope to add more when my brain is not addled by rum...
