Into the Murky Depths by Aaron Gritsch
Page 3 of 3 The terror he felt was immense as he was being dragged on the bottom of the
sea...somehow he knew that whatever had him intended to feed on him...this
creature
he thankfully never got a look at for it was something so hideous it would have
just added to Jake's misery. All he saw was a shadow that almost looked human,
but most certainly was not.
"This has to be a dream", was Jake's last thoughts as he was being pulled,
thankfully he did not live long enough to feel the teeth of the creature that
had brought him into the nightmare in the black, murky depths.
The next day Jake's wife came to pick up Jake and go to her parents only to
discover the house had been broken into and Jake missing. She searched every
room in the house in a panic, she finally went out the back door as it was
busted open and out onto the beach. She saw nothing, except for strange marks
in the sand as if something had pulled something else big behind it into the
sea where the marks were less clear washed away by the water. As if it pulled a
person. She suddenly felt a strange fear looking upon the ocean; it was like
there was something out there that wanted her, and it wanted to take her into
the black depths.
