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 44: Hymn of the lost and the damned

. . .

"The Sirens have a more fatal weapon than their song, namely their silence... someone might possibly have escaped from their singing; but from their silence, certainly never."

–Franz Kafka

. . .

If any of what we were doing somehow reaches the light of the day, I don't think it's really going to be a surprise if people these days were to find out that at the heart of it all, the government actually lies to its citizens on a regular basis.

And it was most likely about something (I'd like to replace that word with 'anything') that could potentially cause mass hysteria.

For the greater good, they say.

Because after what happened, after everything that my partner and I have seen... and have been through, I've been thinking more and more lately about the fact that I am now a part of one of those lies–a lie that could never make me look upon the ocean the same way ever again even though I was once a respected marine biologist.
