Deep
I am fascinated by the oceans and seas of the world, and of worlds yet to be found. The slow, pensive strength of these great planetary organs mesmerizes me. Some time ago, for a few months, I would find moments of near total darkness, close my eyes, and imagine as vividly as I could that I was floating in the depths of some great ocean, a fluid realm of such volume that greater creatures than the likes terrestrial waters could support found ample space to thrive. In this imagined space, these monstrosities would swim with deliberate, lethal grace, and I, submerged in blackness, had no means of safe egress, no hope of retributive strike. Like a nightmare having achieved consciousness, these creatures would stalk me, and I could only feel their approach as displacement.
Darkness can be hard to find. More’s the pity.
