The lights dimmed as the batteries in the small sub ran
low. Jack was getting desperate. The lights were nearly out when he donned his
gear and flooded the chamber. The deep ocean’s cold penetrated the protective
layers of his suit, numbing his fingers and toes. He dragged his feet across the
sandy bottom, able to see only the small area illuminated by his headlamp. Some
of the sea life fled from the bright light. Occasionally, it would reflect off
the large eye of something at the edge of his visibility.
He fell forward when something hit him from behind.
