Abyss

Chapter 2: Mark Gjalund (6102)

Chapter 2: Mark Gjalund (6102)

Jul 29, 2019

The lights of the artificial forest lit up the hallway as I walked by. Through the other side, the dark blue of the Aquarian sea happily absorbed the light given by the forest. The bit of algae that grew around the window feeding off the light and nearby waste pipe made it feel more like Earth. The upper levels of society lived nicely and close to the top of Aquarian colony. The beautiful flora and fauna from Earth was a nice reminder meant for only the rich.

It was nice to be born into such a rank. Being rich here on Aquain-437 is so great, I can do almost anything I want.

I had just finished my meeting with the zoological society, they wanted me to let them open an Aquarian zoo to bring in revenue for their department. Their zoo would feature both Earth life and Aquarian life, which I didn't like. Aquarian life was supposed to be limited to the public. After all, Aquarian life was much bigger than Earth life. The Aquarian Gigawhale was almost seven times the size of a Blue Whale back on Earth, and it wasn't a filter feeder like the Blue Whale, it was exclusively carnivorous, like a killer whale. The smallest semi-mammalian animal was called the Jargrunt, it resembles a large hermit crab, but has a flat tail like a manatee and gills in the place of a mouth, but is the size of a medium sized car. Disgusting. I hate this planet's life. Humans are my number one priority, not some gross ass mammal slugs and giant whales. I work to advance humanity across the stars as this colony's president.

I walk into the port and ready myself for my next meeting with the defense committee. They prioritize in defending the colony from outside threats, like attacks from those Aquarian Gigawhales. The only reason I meet with committees like the zoological society is to get information on the alien whales that are trying to destroy the colony. I hate those filthy monsters. I almost said it out loud. I walked into the port's entry area, which was surprisingly empty, and saw a sub slowly pull up. The doors opened and I walked in.

"Hello Mr. Gjalund! Where will I be driving you this afternoon?" The driver happily said.

"Take me to the Defense Committee Headquarters in the Aquinaria Zone," I sternly replied.

"Yes sir, right away."

The driver moved slowly, but comfortably. We neared the Aquainaria Zone and began to spiral up the Gakuen Spiral Defense Tower. My phone started ringing, and I picked up.

"Hi, Mark Gjalund here,"

"Hello Mr. Gjalund, it's the Defense Committee president. We have an emergency,"

"What's happening?" I hastily asked.

"They're here again, with the whales,"

"Are you kidding me?"

"No sir, this is not a joke. They really are closing in. I would hurry here if I were you. They're actually quite close to your location,"

"Shit! Driver go faster!"

"Right away sir!" The driver politely replied

The sub began to move faster. Thank god I have a reliable driver that actually listens. Quickly this time, we spiraled up the Gakuen Spiral Defense Tower. Something in the distance was growing. Green in color I assumed it to be a mass of algae, but it kept getting bigger. It began to grow features, a head, snout, large white teeth, and a giant black hole. It wasn't algae, but one of those God damn whales. I had only ever seen pictures of the monstrous giants. And now seeing one in person I was so afraid I almost soiled myself. No, wait, I did. Soon the massive monster was only a quarter of a mile away, it was all I could see. Its huge green body and gaping mouth coming at an extremely fast speed. I'm going to die.

On a far away world, a world encased in water, a sea woven by lies, and an abyss with a trove of secrets at it's center. Many characters across time and space converge here to unfold the truth of planet Aquain-437.

Regardless of when or where someone comes from, or what they've done, it doesn't matter on Aquain-437. Each person portrayed is completely different from the last. Be it a scientific researcher, a taxi driver, or even an alien queen, everyone matters.
