In the wake of a failed experiment linking an AI to a captive octopus, Swansea becomes the first city claimed by a rising intelligence that isn’t human. As the sea reclaims the streets, a hidden alliance between machine and deep-sea minds unfolds — not in vengeance, but in language. Told in present tense with haunting realism, this speculative story explores the moment Earth’s new custodians emerge: not human, but sentient… and listening.
