Tales of the deep

It was very clear that whatever had happened during this time had affected this town, which was why everyone seemed tense.

Even after coming into the town, we could see that everyone was just as tense in the streets.

It was as if they were all afraid that they would be attacked at any moment.

When we listened closely, we could hear bits of the conversations around us.

"How are we supposed to do business like this?"

"What is the government doing? How could they just let that monster be?"

"If we don't do something, we'll be in the red this month."

Since most of the people that came to this town were merchants, it meant that most of the conversations that they had were about their business. It seemed that the water monster that was just outside of town was attacking ships that belonged to the merchants, which was why they weren't able to make any profit since they had to save their lives.
