“Clementine had never encountered a germ in Purgatory before. Germs usually had very short and uneventful lives, so they usually just went straight to Heaven. The fact that most of them went straight to Heaven surprised a lot of earthlings, as earthlings viewed germs as fundamentally bad beings that crept into their bodies, snuggled up and gave them the snuffles, infections, rashes, coughs, upset tummies and diarrhoea. However, germs almost always acted on instinct and never with any malice.”

“Prunella had also learned, and then forgotten, that, as well as being ingenious, fish were incredibly progressive. Take, for example, the male seahorse, which shouldered the responsibility for giving birth. However, if that wasn’t impressive enough, some fish didn’t just believe in gender equality, they took it a step further and believed in male inequality. Take, for example, the anglerfish. The young, male anglerfish, which was significantly smaller than its female counterpart, would swim around the ocean until it came across a girl anglerfish, which it would latch onto with its very sharp teeth. Over time, the male would physically fuse with the female, connecting to her skin and her bloodstream, and dispensing of its eyes and internal organs in the process. The only thing the male anglerfish did hold onto was its testes. Prunella reasoned there were some things that boys would simply never give up.”
