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 36: SOS (part 3)

And as we descended deeper and deeper into the uncharted depths, there was admittedly a part of me that suddenly wanted to ask Captain Tomes to just turn this thing around, get back up to the surface, especially with the horrifying awareness that the only thing that was now literally keeping the two of us safe and very much alive against the crushing pressure was the thick machinations of our vessel. We don't even know what's waiting for us down there.

Not to mention, we are getting farther from HQ, the surface, from safety... and I'm getting a bad feeling about the fact that comms literally went down but I don't want to put our mission at risk.

Other people's lives are at stake here.

It's not just us.

Captain Tomes was quiet for a moment.

So, it honestly caught me off guard when he suddenly grabbed me by the shoulder and frantically gestured somewhere on his left, his voice practically rising into a frenzied shout, "Doctor! Doctor, look! Are you seeing this?!"
