The living story

The story so far

Death in the trench is dinner, and Eurythenes gryllus never misses it. When anything falls — a fish, a whale's distant cousin, a gift from above — the amphipods arrive in swarms of thousands and strip it clean with terrifying efficiency. By the time the giants arrive, the swarm has done the delicate work.

Happening now

The swarms hold station in the trench's currents, waiting for the chemical scent of a fall. The Rattails work the slopes above; the grenadiers patrol; but when the big falls come, it's Eurythenes' hour.

What may come

The falls are the trench's weather, and the weather is changing. The swarms are learning new scents — new falls, stranger falls. Eurythenes adapts the way swarms do: all at once.

Connected

The Hadal

The trenches are separate kingdoms that never meet. The Mariana snailfish holds the deepest throne of any fish alive — and no trench acknowledges any other.
