It's qualities as a cute jack-o'-lantern are hard to ignore. Yet, as I study it, I suddenly see a grub-like, flexible body, an armored, plated head, with deeply recessed eyes and a jagged mouth, and a strange whip-like dorsal fin. It becomes a creature that looks like it could exist; a creature that should exist. I then see it swimming in a natural setting; the near-transparent fins flitting about, then vanishing...And with that, takes on a different character, becoming more ghost than pumpkin. But with that thought, the illusion changes; once again, it is simply a jack-o'-lantern.
