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 24: What has sunk, shall rise again (part 7)

"Sadly enough, the most painful goodbyes are the ones that are left unsaid and never explained."

― Jonathan Harnisch

. . .

For many years, I've seen my fair share of blood and gore. It was well within my line of work of course so I couldn't really avoid it even if I wanted to–so the sight of blood and corpses didn't unnerve me as much as it did.

But looking down, almost unseeingly, at the still-body of the only person I have somehow allowed myself to love, the person I was about to share my life... I was confused, so confused, like I was drowning with too many things all at once that I couldn't pick them apart, to take a moment to process just what the actual hell is happening.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing even though I am literally looking and seeing this with own two eyes. Maybe I was in shock... because I felt numb, so, so numb, like I was watching and taking it all in from afar as some sort of distant spectator.
