As I wandered through the submarine, I found my calls
answered only by echoes. I felt no motion and the periscope revealed only
darkness. When I loosened the hatch, water began leaking in, forcing me to
quickly tighten it again.
We must be on the
bottom. The thought set my heart pounding. I had to know.
I struggled into a deep-dive suit and clomped into the
airlock. When the outer door opened, my headlamp revealed a kelp forest
anchored to the sandy floor. The long, thick strands swayed slowly in the soft
ocean current. Strange fish fled from the light.
