Reduce Stories

My name is Athena, and I have a home by the sea. I'm a diver. Mostly as a hobby, in a way. I'm chasing a creature; a monster so terrifying it haunts my every dream. I've been following its trail, but it always eludes me. It always returns to the vast arms of the sea, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. Somehow, it escapes me. Not this time. This time, I know I'll find it. This time, it's coming to me. =============================================== This is a short story for the #PlanetorPlastic writing contest hosted by National Geographic! I hope you enjoy!
