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 46: I must not sleep (part 2)

"I've crossed some kind of invisible line. I feel as if I've come to a place I never thought I'd have to come to. And I don't know how I got here. It's a strange place. It's a place where a little harmless dreaming and then some sleepy, early-morning talk has led me into considerations of death and annihilation."

― Raymond Carver

. . .

The sun was way up high in the sky already and it was shining so brightly, hitting me squarely on the face but despite that, I don't even feel its warmth... because the truth is, I have never felt so cold (although I'm pretty sure I haven't even bothered to turn the AC on before I went to sleep) as I rolled over to my side to take a look at the clock.

My eyes squinted, blearily.

Ten minutes before 1pm.

And despite having slept undisturbed, for so long, I have never felt so tired and there was a headache pounding on the back of my head. You know, the feeling you get during the worst of a hangover?
