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 31: Still waters run deep (part 4)

. . .

Date: August, 1995

Location: New York, America

. . .

Li-Am gently guides Leigh Anne out from her bedroom and straight to the bathroom that was just down the hall where he mechanically begins the process of sanitizing his daughter's cuts without a word.

Then, after making sure that her wounds wouldn't be infected now and were dried properly enough, he placed a generous amount of antibacterial wash to ease some of the pain before gently wrapping her injured arm up with bandages, deciding to put some gauze on a particularly nasty cut on her wrist at the end.

Leigh Anne was uncharacteristically quiet throughout the entire ordeal, not even bothering to say something–an excuse, to defend herself or tell her father why she did it, maybe even an apology, anything.

But there was nothing.

And her silence unnerves him more than he cared to admit. Because Leigh Anne has always been quite a talkative child, has always had something to say to him or just about anything.
