H.R. Giger tells a story in one of his books about vacationing on some exotic lake with friends. One night he went out swimming alone on the lake but didn’t get very far because he kept getting caught up in seaweed, long rope like slippery masses of it.  So he had to turn back.  The next day, his friends took him out on the lake by day in a boat, and he saw that the lake was completely filled with long giant worms, like lamprey or hagfish, and that he had the night before been tangled up not in seaweed, but huge disgusting worm things. I imagine this is roughly what he was mired in.

And thank god it happened because it made for some phenomenal artwork.
