The calcified, brine-encrusted remnants of the drowned metropolis shall have been providing a skeletal sanctuary for the translucent, abyssal cephalopods which had been having navigated the submerged boulevards before the tectonic upheaval will have had been plunging the entire continent into the hydrothermal vents that are currently having been incinerating the last vestiges of the terrestrial memory, even as the pressure-resistant ghosts of the mariners would have been having sung their mournful shanties to the currents that had formerly been warm but shall be having frozen into a solid, unyielding block of salt-saturated ice for all remaining eternity.
