This is a short story I wrote during the course of a single plane ride from Dallas, Texas,  to my home in Lancaster, PA. In it I recount the city I used to live in, Dallas, through vivid mental detail. I went back to sell my novels (The Modern Reformer and Black Genesis: Desert Man) at Dallas Comic Con and found myself with time to spare. So my friend who I was staying with, and is a team member at Modern Comics, walked with me through the city. Than it hit me- my past was there, along with the friends I used to be close to. Yet at that point, they were all gone. I imagine them  being where we used to hang out, but it was only a memory. This story explores that concept. 

Note: It's still a draft. I never really took much time to revise it and go further. I still think it could use a different ending, but I feel that I have to go discover it. Maybe this story is ongoing? I don't know.

Anyways, enjoy, and all the best!

Captive of the Sea

34 parts Complete

Those who were taken... They never came back, dragged beneath the waves never to return. Their haunting screams were a symbol of their horrific deaths. Like shadows they lay in wait, the deep blue waters hiding them from view. With sharp claws they attack, Pointed fangs tearing into skin, Eager mouths devouring human flesh. Cally was taken, dragged under the water by one of the vicious creatures. But she was not devoured nor torn apart by ruthless claws--no. She was a captive. ~•~ Water instantly invades her senses. Her eyes sting, her lungs and nose burning. She thrashes, kicks, claws--anything to get away. Her efforts go to waste as her body slowly starts to shut down, the air in her lungs quickly being replaced by sea water. Cally is vaguely aware of arms wrapping around her waist and behind her head before she loses consciousness, submerged in darkness. And so she is taken. Another victim of the mysterious sea. 《Completed》 Subscribe to TheAllieL Patreon for exclusive stories and content not featured on Wattpad and to support future works and book publishing! - Free Subscriber Tier - Allie's Library - Tier 1 - $2/month - Allie's Journal - Tier 2 - $5/month Subscribe here: Patreon.com/TheAllieL
