Entry #7 - Drowning in Ink

Hello I am writing this, apparently there have been some cases about some of the subjects breaking out of their confinement. I'm a pool cleaner here at the lab, I usually clean out the tanks containing the more, amphibian and aquatic subjects. Since the creatures have been recently showing more aggressiveness towards people, I should be more careful while I'm doing my job.

I grab my cleaning supplies and head out to the tank area of the aquarium. I clean out the tanks for the smaller creatures, like the tadpoles and small fishes, and swimming creatures. After I finish cleaning, I go over to the squid and octopi section. They seem to be sleeping right now, so I should be safe, unless they wake up....

I start to clean their tanks quietly, hoping they don't awaken anytime soon. They seem to be in a deep sleep, so I decide to go all in and get all the nooks and crannies of the tanks. I check back to make sure they're still asleep every 30 seconds. I sigh of relief as I finish up and get ready to leave the tank section. I pick up my supplies and head to the exit, I suddenly feel a tentacle wrap around my waist.

I look behind myself, and see that they have awoken. I'm right at the exit, come on, break free! I start to struggle to get out of the sticky suction cups. I finally get the tentacle off of me, but due to the force, it causes me to trip and fall over into another tentacle.... They've never been this touchy towards humans before, why would they be doing this now? At this point, there's tentacles grabbing onto my entire body, making it unable for me to move at all.

I start clawing at the floors and walls, trying to crawl over to the exit, but the tentacles pull me back. I grab my supplies and start throwing it at the tentacles, hoping they would let me go. I smack the tentacles with the supplies, and they let go of me. I get up and run to the exit, unaware of the giant tentacle trap above it. I fell right into its trap. I look up above me, and the tentacle swallows me.

It's getting hard to breathe, I'm covered in what seems like ink... I start swimming and making my way out of the other side of the tentacle. I eventually find a way out, but it leads into the pool. I jump out, and into the pool, and start swimming to a ledge so I can pull myself out. Tentacles start chasing me through the water as I try my best to swim as fast as I can. Unfortunately, the tentacles were faster, and they caught up to me.

The tentacles start to squirt ink out everywhere, turning the whole pool black, and making it harder to see where the creatures are. The tentacles grabbed onto my legs, and started pulling me under. I start to struggle and flail my arms, desperately trying to get back to the surface of the water.

The tentacles have such a strong grip, it's hard to break free from them...

I start to drown and consume the ink they squirted into the pool. I start to feel tired, and I stop struggling. I let the tentacles drag me down to their home, it feels like a peaceful scene. I feel exhausted, and I pass out.
