This short story follows a 2027 expedition by the Global Oceanic Research Initiative to uncover the source of the 1997 "Bloop" sound in the deep Pacific. Led by Dr. Rowie Whitewood, Lead Acoustician, the team-including marine biologist Dr. Lena Hanson, geophysicist Dr. Jian Li, and Captain Eva Rostova-travels in the advanced submersible Triton to depths of ten thousand meters. After a monotonous voyage, they detect a low-frequency precursor hum that resonates through their vessel, alongside magnetic anomalies in the seabed. Deploying remote vehicles, they discover colossal, perfectly geometric crystalline structures that defy natural explanation, along with shifting, formless entities moving in sync with a complex, alien sound. As the hum swells to a deafening crescendo and the structures blaze with otherworldly light, the team is overwhelmed by terror and awe: Dr. Hanson and Dr. Li lose their sanity, while Captain Rostova fights to escape. Though they reach the surface, only Dr. Whitewood retains his faculties, forever burdened by the knowledge that the ocean holds forbidden secrets meant to remain hidden in its depths.

A short horror

This short story "The Strange World" follows an unnamed narrator whose memories are fragmented and unreliable, stemming from the discovery of a worm-eaten book found in a dimly lit chamber filled with decaying volumes. The book contains a formula, a ritualistic sequence of actions and incantations, that serves as a key to gateways and transitions beyond the three dimensions. After acquiring the book from a leering old man, the narrator reads it in their attic room, a sanctuary dedicated to forbidden knowledge. As they intone the ninth verse of the primal incantation, a scratching at the dormer window signals the arrival of a shadow, a constant companion acquired by those who pass through the gateways. The narrator crosses the gateway into a vortex of twisted time and vision, irrevocably changing their perception of the world. They continue to read and push through gateways, eventually creating five concentric circles of fire and chanting a monstrous litany. A black wind sweeps them through fathomless gulfs to a green-lit plain with the twisted towers of a city in a maddening realm: The Strange World. A hideous fear grips them, and they are returned to their attic room. The narrator, now aware of the dangers, exercises greater caution in their incantations, fearing being lost in unknown abysses from which there could be no return.

His ex-wife says he's teaching their daughter to be afraid of everything. But Dalton knows the truth-the rituals work. Until the day his nine-year-old daughter starts touching her ear three times before answering questions. "I don't know," she whispers. "I just have to."

"I once knew a girl in middle and high school who was quite peculiar. I'm not saying every kid was normal during this period of their developing lives, but this girl was definitely strange. She looked just like any other student, with tan skin and long brown hair. Her eyes were light green and they shimmered in the flourescent classroom lighting. She wore a different dress every day; I wasn't sure if she even owned one pair of pants. Regardless, she didn't look as bad as her personality suggested." This is a short story I decided to write. *Trigger warning: mental hospital mentioned, death mentioned.
