I was hanging on for dear life as the words sucked the air out of me... Until the very end I was in suspense. Hooked like a fish, then released back to reality. Well done!

Thank you!✌️

It's a bit Earnest Hemingway - for that I do not care for it. But you have captured me otherwise.

I can see that. I was shooting more for Lovecraft (who’s also not a great guy). I appreciate you reading and the feedback!

Heck yeah that's a good ending. Good one, Scott. I learned a few things, which I'll never use because I tried diving and discovered it ain't for me. But . . . good story, thanks!

Wow, that was intense Scott. It drew me in and left me reeling in the aftermath. What was that thing, was it real. Good job at creating suspense.
