The Octopus

this is wonderfully detailed and the characterisations rounded and real, the association of the octopus and the ***** (don't want to spoil it) really works and creates a vivid visual scene in my mind.
My only crit would be nearer to the end when she examines her actions, i feel it pulled me out of the mood and is a little overwritten, a lot could remain unsaid. But the ending paragraph with her water self pulled me right back in again. i love the understated last line.
this has got to be worth a cherry.
one typo i noticed the word chose - think it should be choice or choose.
