Claireg24 liked an update for Squids In

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...

    George and Michael both laughed lazily while John pursed his lips, hefted up his marrow and left, spouting something like ‘I’m going to check on my plums’ causing the other two to look at each other before laughing a bit harder.

    Really enjoying this book. The first chapter raises a number of questions that aren't immediately answered, just like the best books do and in chapter two, we are introduced to a number of key characters and extra depth is given to the story.
