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.
