The view from my beach house was simply breathtaking, the ocean crystal clear, the tide gently ebbing and flowing. It was almost as if I could hear the ocean whispering, Come closer, I have a secret.

The breeze sifted through my hair as I approached the water, wet sand squishing between my toes. I took note of everything. I smiled at the delight of children giggling as they constructed elaborate sand castles. I was captured by two lovers intoxicated with each other.

A sense of foreboding sent chills through my spine. Something wasn’t right. I looked in the distance and I couldn’t believe my eyes.

An enormous wave slowly rolled toward the beach ready to swallow everything in its path. I screamed a warning, but they were oblivious. They saw nothing, but their own carefree lives.

I saw something else entirely.

I witnessed a battle between cosmic warriors, swords and axes clanging against each other, the fate of the world in their hands. I drowned in despair, realizing I now knew the secret of the deep.
