The Jack-o’-Lantern Fish

A boy hears his grandfather’s tale of a glowing fish with a jack-o-lantern face, and begins to wonder whether stories are just memories that forgot they were true. The Jack-O-Lantern Fish explores how myth and memory entwine, and how light can survive even in the murkiest waters.
