Imagine a glossary that doesn't explain but seduces. That's Jellyfish. It's not a book you "read." It's a body you brush against in the dark, sparking, slippery, leaving phosphorescent trails on your hands. Page after page, it pretends to be definitions - but the entries are incantations, smirks, whispered dares. You flick, you dip, you think you're safe - then a phrase grabs you by the wrist and pulls you under.

Some entries sting (politics dressed as poison). Some glow (RAF boys gone too soon). Some throb (hips, lips, longing). Others just hum, like an electric fence you can't stop touching.

What makes it dangerous is the randomness. No map, no order, just the alphabet drunk and barefoot. You open at Whyand suddenly you're back in Bomber Command, ash on your skin. You open at Soft Machines and feel your pulse skip. You open at Cinder and realise the system already knows your hesitation.

This isn't comfort reading. It's flirtation with collapse. It's glossary-as-striptease. It's the manual you weren't meant to find, written in a language you can half-recognise, half-feel.

Don't read it straight through. Let it read you.
