What Fate Lies Below?

A Very Short Story

By Scott GrimPublished 2 months ago 1 min read
What lurks below the surface?... Hammerhead Sharks Do...

"Grey rock. Blue water. Nothing else."

That's what the captain told the mutineers as he had them stripped, cut multiple times with a knife and then tied to cannonball's before being thrown overboard.

"Well I lie...If your lucky that's all you'll see before you drown! If your unlucky...it'll be the Hammerhead Sharks' teeth ripping you open before you mutinous dogs die!"

The crew laughed as the mutineers were thrown over one by one.

When it came to my turn, as I fell down towards the water, I wondered which fate was in store for me?...

"Grey rock? Blue Water? Or Something else?..."
