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.

Chapter 17: What belongs to the sea, will always belong to the sea (part 5)

"We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came."

-John F. Kennedy

. . .

And Wilson didn't know for how long he was crying nor when did tears even start to pour out of his eyes.

He didn't even realize he had been actually screaming and cursing at the monstrous squid-thing out loud, this... this god damned demon... for what seemed to be like hours on end until a tentacle suddenly shot forward to wrap around his face, stuffing his mouth with it, abruptly cutting the sound off into muffled sobs and shrieks as he flailed about in its grip like a useless piece of worm dangling on a hook. And maybe in its eyes, he was no better than that, really.

Wilson could barely see a thing through the haze of his tears as he squirmed as hard as he can, but the being just tightened its grip hard enough that he heard something crack behind him.

Then, the pain came.

White-hot and awful, he howls.
