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.

"CAPTAIN, KILL THE LIGHTS!" I hissed, "Hurry!"

My frantic words barely went past gritted lips but somehow, in some way, the Captain thankfully understood what I was planning.

Because just as the thing came barreling towards us, he managed to turn off the headlights then made a sharp swerve as he drove the submarine around then up, right into the direction which we came.

Then, there was a vindicated scream echoing powerfully around us–and I know there and then the sound it made was the same in the video; a warbling, wailing, inhuman sort of noise that made the hairs on the back of my hair stand straight as a particularly rough wave caused our vessel to jostle a bit, the glass rattling for a terrifying moment at the impact.

What made it even more terrifying is the fact that it seems to come from nowhere and everywhere at once.

Then, there was silence.

...Nothing but deafening silence.
