What Lies Beneath the Sea

It told me once that it came from the distant void of space where stars lived and die but now, it found itself slumbering within the depths of earth's ocean, a being once worshipped by elder gods now better left forgotten. Teetering on the verge of waking but not quite, not yet... something that has fallen but never dies continues to wait till the oceans run dry so it may rise once more, till the sun extinguishes itself and all life ceases to exist in this world. It dreams of horrible, hopeful dreams. For this is the way of things beyond life on earth that should have died but failed to stay dead. For as long they still retain their will to exist, to live and still have bodies–however scattered, buried or broken–they would still remain in this world. …Until even death may die. What Lies Beneath the Sea is created by Ataraxia, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Wilson Blanc remembered reading somewhere once that the ocean floor is supposedly littered with the bones of long-dead bodies, including those of humans.

On hindsight, maybe there is some bit of a truth in there–what with plane crashes and sunken ships happening all throughout humanity's very long course of history travelling in or over the ocean–I mean, there is no doubt that countless lives have been stolen by the sea, leaving so many victims in unmarked and watery graves.

Scientists have claimed that even until now humanity has only explored less than 5% of the Earth's oceans, after all.

...alright, maybe Wilson shouldn't really be thinking about these kinds of things right now, what with the next diving operation coming close any moment because he'll end up creeping the heck out of himself and as a professional diver, that's just sad.
