There are two kinds of polyps. One is a type of squishy little sea creature--coral is made by polyps, and a coupla species have polyp forms--which anchors itself to something and then has a head on the other end (for a very low value of "head") with tentacles and sense organs and a mouth. (Think sea anenome.)

The other kind of polyp looks a lot like that, but is a rogue lump of flesh that grows in your colon, up your nose, etc.

Some sort of story is going on there, but as usual, I'm only witness to a brief scene. I couldn't tell you what price the polyp is demanding, or why. I just know that's the title. Nor do I know what the little white creature is--I don't think it's a rogue sperm, much as it may look like one, I think it's more like a relative of the anxiety beast. But even that, I dunno.

At the end of the day, what sort of polyp that squishy thing is really depends on whether this is taking place in some odd little cavernous underground, or inside somebody's intestines. And that, dear viewer, I'm gonna leave up to you, and how weird, after all these paintings, you think I am.

Flying polyp adds a darker side to this transaction.

I just know that this is taking place in a microscopic world underground, with a tiny little white maggot speaking to a little polyp creature. <3 So charming.

Nah, you're creative and artistic! ^^; with a very active immangination. I really like this. I don't know why, but I do. I can almost feel myself huddling in fear and hiding behind the little white thing.

the polyp asks "please--bring me something from the Outside when you come this way again"
