The Listener

In the depths of the Pacific Ocean, where sunlight barely penetrates and shadows dance like phantoms, there resides a creature unlike any that has ever been recorded. Alex Carter, a seasoned oceanographer, and his dedicated team are on a mission to unravel the mysteries of these dark waters. Though they approach their work with a scientific mindset, a flicker of curiosity ignites within Alex-a nagging desire to discover what truly lies beneath the surface.

Having plunged into the abyss twice already, he feels an inexplicable pull toward the unknown. The second descent was unlike anything he had experienced before. As he navigated through the eerie silence, illuminated only by the beam of his submersible's lights, he stumbled upon the remnants of a rusted ship, its hull encrusted with barnacles and time. It was a vessel swallowed by the ocean's depths, and within its decaying embrace lay a journal inside a wooden box, its pages yellowed and fragile.

The entries spoke of a person who had vanished without a trace, leaving behind only whispers of terror and the unknown. The ocean had a way of hiding its secrets, and he was determined to uncover them.
