...giant supernatural #yokai clams related to dragons. The mirage they create mirrors the mystical underwater palace of the dragon king. The word shinkiro (蜃気楼) means mirage in Japanese.

In #JapaneseFolklore meppokai (extreme shellfish) is a bizarre #yokai appearing as a shellfish with two eyes and wing-like flippers either side. It also has whiskers and a tail like a mouse. What is most mysterious about this yokai is that we just don't know anything about it. #MythologyMonday 1/2
In #JapaneseFolklore hitokai are prophetic sea #yokai with the head of a human woman with a third eye on her forehead, and a snake-like body, riding in a conch shell. At night they glow in different colours and appear offshore to deliver their prophecies.

Washday Gremlin
#wss366 07/18
The gremlin sat counting socks, almost a baker’s dozen. There was the unicorn one, three dull white ones, Jenny’s heavy black hiking sock. She stroked the #washed-out tie-dye sock the kids had made for Father’s Day.
It was washday, and she had her eye on the strawberry print ones. She hoped her next assignment was as fun. Blue screens and randomly moving files were boring. Loosening bolts on airplanes could be fun. There were openings at SpaceX; they were on a hiring binge. That was a wash. Rockets were interesting, programming not so much. But eating socks was her fav.

In the silence of snowfall, she found her — pale as death, beautiful as a dream, and colder than the grave. Her kiss was not love. It was the end.
