The Deeper The Water The Uglier The Fish Novels & Stories

The men kept moving the ship closer to this ship because it was the only way we could know what they were running away from. “They’re called water pipes. It’s a rare species of fish that eats wood and also eats flesh. Their skin has sores filled with silver; hence, they’re dangerous to our kind…” Captain Phillips told us about the fish, but Enzo was keen on knowing the solution more than the problem itself. “So what do we do?”

"Then let's go find it." We reach the descent point as the sun begins to set, painting the sky in shades of crimson and gold that reflect off the glowing water in impossible colors. According to the maps, we need to dive here—straight down into the luminous abyss. The ship begins its transformation. The shadow-stuff of the hull ripples and shifts, becoming more liquid, more permeable. A dome of solid darkness forms over our heads, creating an air pocket, and the vessel begins to sink. The descent is slow and dreamlike. We pass through layers of light—first bright blue-white, then deeper blue, then purple, then colors I don't have names for. The pressure increases gradually, but the wards car

Marveling at his luck, he slipped his phone inside and swiftly dived into the water. As all the black-headed fishes had all gathered downstream, there were none where he was. However, the water was icy and reeking, making him feel suffocated. Holding his breath, he quickly swam upstream. He had no idea how deep the water was, but he managed to swim to his destination without a hitch. Sensing his presence, the black-headed fish immediately swarmed toward him like wild beasts to their prey, eager to tear him apart. He picked up his pace. After passing through what looked like a gate, he entered a larger cave.

It led down on a straight path like they were going underground and indeed they were as Leigh would come to know when they got to their destination. The soft blue lights and descending hallways gave way to the most beautiful sight she had ever beheld. An underground aquarium! "Welcome to the Blue Universe, Sunshine." She had never seen so much fish in her entire life! A school of pretty red and yellow fish swam around a species larger than they were, wagging their tails in delight whenever the bigger fish chased them off. A little turtle rested under a moss covered rock, retreating into its shell whenever the moving water plant brushed at its head. It looked so adorable and made Leigh want t

Even though I knew this couldn't possibly be true, it made everything seem ethereal and otherworldly to me because of it. As we made our way toward the shore, I noticed that a large group of people had gathered nearby and were gazing in amazement at something. When we got closer to the group, I saw that they were gazing in awe at the sea creatures that were gracefully swimming in the shallow waters. There must have been tens of thousands of different fish swimming around in the water, all of which were distinct from one another in both appearance and coloring. The majority of them were see-through and iridescent, and their scales had a shimmering quality that made them look particularly stun

No, I have shifted into something aquatic, like a fish. I can’t see my own form as I press along underneath this rapidly moving body of water. Rather, I am only aware of what is around me—the green algae growing up from the rocky muddy depths beneath my feet, the large rocks that lay in piles strewn all around me, the occasional fish that shoots by in front of me. Water—lots and lots of murky greenish-brown water. “Where am I?” I ask, but not aloud. If I open my mouth, this dirty water will fill my up until I am sputtering. No, it is an internal question. I don’t know the answer, but I don’t think this is the ocean.

But now, Wilson was telling him to swim into the deep and defeat the supreme king and all the notorious monsters that lurked within. Kai took a deep breath and stepped into the lake. The water was cold and dense, but Kai felt no discomfort. He swam deeper and deeper until the sunlight above him was reduced to a mere glimmer. All around him, the water was alive with strange and terrifying creatures. Kai could see giant catfish with glowing eyes, eels that could spit lightning, and even a few krakens swimming lazily by.

Emiliano continued, “In the river, there are fishes, prawns, and crabs. The car is just a metal cage holding all these dead bodies at the bottom of the river. These bodies will eventually be eaten by the fishes, prawns and crabs. The bigger fishes will devour the flesh while the smaller ones will nibble on the skin. All of you who like to go to these so-called fish spa massage parlors, remember the little fish that nibbles on your dead skin? Those fishes will eventually devour all the flesh from the dead bodies and leave only the corpses in bones.” “Curses!” A man who was seated in the back seat shouted. “It’s no wonder people want to murder him. This twerp is just too cruel!” Emiliano spoke

Slow and steady. The moment we were in, I can clearly see the walls clearing around us compared to the jumbled images when we were at the surface. The pond was actually quite deeper than I pictured it to be. And there were actual corals in here. Small weird face fishes moved out of our way as we continued to descend and move.
