Tiny luminous organisms in the water emit light, while many marine species such as crustaceans jellyfish and anglerfish carry torches or electric bulbs to illuminate the depths. The glow aids predators and navigation in the perpetually dark deep sea.
A long ago incident in West Virginia near an old couple’s road lurches into memory as a motorcycle rider offers help with a horse and carriage.
