             My eyes flickered open when I felt something tickling my stomach. I blinked away my blurry visions and looked down at my tail to see so many snake-like creatures attached to it.
             I pounced up and swam higher as I shake and pull the stubborn creatures of my body. It felt painful to pull each and every one of them because their teeth were attached to my flesh tightly. As soon as all of them were of my body, I caught one as they were swimming away to take a look at it.
             I wish my eyes were deceiving me but I'm quite sure that I'm awake. Judging by the eel-like body, beady eyes and a circular rows of teeth, what I'm holding is a lamprey.

             Though I never thought I would see one in the sea because they're often found in freshwaters

             Though I never thought I would see one in the sea because they're often found in freshwaters.
             While studying the fish, I forgot to think as to why the fishes are here right now... and not before. Soon, my question was answered.
             The surroundings had a stench of not only chemicals but also blood and something... rotten.
             Only then it hit me.
             The whale's dead body.
             I look down to see hundreds and thousands of sea lampreys on the whale. Half of the whale's body has been torn by some other deep-sea creatures. The body was being infested by millions of bacteria, creatures such as bone-eating worms also know as osedax, hagfish, huge crabs and lobsters, and parasites.
