I was always a diving enthusiast. I loved the scent of the ocean, the cool air that

seems to never stop blowing and the sound of seagulls and water all around me as I

put on my diving equipment and get ready to dive, the contrast between the

feeling of free movement in air and the resistance in water. I loved to move in water to feel that resistance it felt as if the water was softly caressing me.

One day I went diving into an area known as 'Point Nemo' the furthest mass of

water from land; it's generally used to deposit dead satellites and other space debris

but the main reason I wanted to go there was cause it was as far away from land

and its troubles as possible.

I recently had a breakup and although I am sure I am over it I still saw this as a

chance to get into nature and find myself. I love the ocean so naturally the best

thing to do would be to come here and scavenge some debris, who knows maybe I will find some pirate treasure? Yes, ill confess this may not be all for self searching infact, I must admit I am also hoping to make a small fortune from this trip but if my hunch is right most of the debris will have rusted and decayed.

Ah I failed to mention one fact about this place, Nothing is alive here.

The currents in this place are such that no nutrients can reach here and thus making

it inhospitable to life.

*Creak creak*

I step forward from the deck fully dressed in my diving suit, technology is a

wonderful thing this suit is designed such that I dont get crushed by the heavy

pressure in the ocean depths. It also has a diary embedded into it that automatically

writes down the words I say. I need to document what I explore right?

I double check the oxygen tanks as I prepare for the big moment, I have never

dived this far deep or this far away from land. I am excited my hands are shaking

this may be the only time I even come this far in my entire life; Imagine a huge

body of water all to yourself no fear of sharks or anything of the sort just water and

rusted debris.

Finally I am sure my preparations are complete, I dive into the water hoping

nothing goes wrong. This feeling of water brushing against me how I longed for it.

I drown in sentiments for a while then slowly begin my descent into the unknown

Space Graveyard.

As I dive deeper and deeper the surround grows darker and darker while the

sounds one hears at see are no longer audible.

I turn on my flashlight; the darkness makes it impossible to even see my hands

without it. I then continue my descent to the ocean floors, a marvel that wouldn't be

possible without this suit. It cost me a small fortune and it appears to be worth it.

Ah, I see something shine in a metallic manner when my flashlight shines upon it;

an object that appears to be a round and black? Why is it black? is it due to the

corrosion of the ocean? I don't know much about metals so I cant say but I at least

know most satellites are not black.

The thing catches my curiosity, I circle around it hoping to find any form of

entrance to no avail. I then knock on the object and strangely it feels as if its jelly, I

cant break through it but its elastic; Was this perhaps an experimental space probe?

I investigate the object and I find something similar to a small opening, I go inside

and find that it is hallow, there is nothing but a capsule and a chair obviously not

meant for a human. What a strange thing, did they intend to send animals into

space using this probe?

Soon I grow bored of exploring this strange vessel and try to salvage parts. I bring

out my tools and try to chip away at the capsule but it appears this thing is a lost

cause because I can not bring it loose.

Disheartened I leave the vessel and continue my exploration; All the while thinking

about my life. Perhaps I should be more honest to myself after all I am the only

eternal ally I got, If i cant honestly admit my faults and impulses to myself then

who would I admit them to?

Maybe my girlfriend leaving me was a good thing cause now I can focus on myself

instead of worrying about how distant our relationship had become or how we even

started to loathe each other.

I wanted to change her as she wanted to use me, we both couldn't achieve it so this

is fine.

I end my thoughts here as I stumble right into another debris this time its rusted but

clearly a normal space station. This thing would have sold for billions intact but

now I would be lucky if I could get back my initial investment using it. I look

around for any parts that aren't rusted and of value, Obviously this isn't made of

normal metal but I doubt it sells for much more. I continue my search but as I get

out of the space station my torch starts losing its light.

Curses, This damned torch. I better surface before it goes out but just as those

thoughts finish the lights go out with a zap, almost as if something interfered with

it. Did the space station earlier still have the capability to emit an electric pulse?

No in that case I would have felt it too.

In any case the surrounding is completely dark, I must not panic or I may not even

know which way is up. I need to get out before I lose my sense of direction.

Strange I can hear a sound, I recognize this from my earlier Ocean dives. This is

the song of a whale but there shouldn't be any life here, did it accidentally stumble

into this land? The sound gets audibly louder, I cant see anything. I begin

panicking and swimming straight up or at least the direction I think is up, The

sound is clearly audible now and distorted. This is not a whale I am sure of it no

whale sounds, this sounds as if a hundred whales all made the same sound with a

slight gap in-between each of their sounds distorting it into something nearly

demonic.

It seems to be getting closer and closer, Whales dont try to harm divers but in the

current situation if the whale even passes near me it will create a current pulling

me in spinning me around and distorting my sense of direction.

I must not get lost in the dark. Something just brushed by my legs, it felt slimy

almost as if a tongue; clearly this ocean is not uninhabited. There is life here and I

cant see anything at all, I try to swim even faster but a slimy tentacle like this grabs

my ankles. Pulling me back down.

Meanwhile the whale sounds get closer, I feel as if it is starting right at me and this

cursed tentacle creature is going to be the death of me. Several more tentacle

creatures grab me and hold me in place, suddenly a light flashes. I see a giant

creature with many tentacles as if it was Cthulhu itself staring at me, its body

consisting of what seems like dozens of whales and other creatures mishmashed

together into this horrifying giant creature that makes the many space debris

around it look small all starting at me. Imagine a hundred whales standing upright

just joined together and you wouldnt be far off from what this creature looks like

and now this creature was staring at me.

It opens it mouth.

The flash of light which seems to have originated from this creature vanishes, I am

terrified and attempt to break free. I even manage to do so after a while and swim

for my life, I dont know what that creature was but I am not sticking around to find

out.

I swim and swim and bump into something soft, My color drains. I immediately

change directions but strangely I bump into flesh again, the horrifying whale

sounds are echoing as if no matter how much I swim it wont change our distance,

its hunting me I know it is. Its toying with me, I try swimming in every direction

but hit a soft wall each time.

I thought it was my sense of direction messing with me but there is no way I keep

swimming back to the same point.

I try to hit the flashlight, It turns on. I look around and there is nothing but empty

water. I swim again and hit another wall but this time I can see it clearly.

This isnt a wall its flesh. Pink pulsating flesh, I change direction and the same

thing occurs again a realization hits me I am inside the creature.

I keep trying to find the teeth so I can exit its mouth but after a while another

realization hits me, I can see the walls on the other side now.

They clearly shrunk and are still shrinking slowly but surely I will be crushed, I

need to get out but just when I needed it my torch stops working again. I hate this.

My oxygen supply is running out too, I am starting to suffocate and my vision grows cloudy, I can not think beyond whether I will suffocate first or get crushed by the walls.

So this is how I die, inside a monster. The walls have shrunk until they are touching me on all sides.

I will leave my diary for the future to know what happened to me.

I realized something, perhaps a bit too late due to my inability to properly think but my body is starting to merge with the flesh.

Strange, but I feel as if I am on drugs; I cant think at all anymore.. I.. Who am I? What am I? I

must eat, eat, eat. eat. eat. eat. eat.

To whoever is reading this, I do not know who I am and I do not know who you

are all I know is. You are becoming a part of me, us, we too!

**End**

The silence returns to the ocean but if anyone were to see this creature closely, one

would notice a human shaped object attached to its body, grinning and repeating

"welcome".
