The Monster In The Lagoon

Here is a story that your history teacher didn’t want you to hear...

A huge battle ship was out in the ocean, gracefully gliding along the waves with about two dozen men on board – each of which had loving families back at home, loving families who shudder whenever they are reminded of the terrible event that occurred that night. It was a moonless pitch-black night, and a bed of fog and mist lay on the surface of the freezing cold water. The sky was patterned with stars and the night was so silent that even with the powerful oars that were continuously being pulled to and fro, even with all the men running around on the wooden deck, the beautiful ripples of the ocean could still be heard. The men all agreed that it was time for a rest and so decided to go to sleep on their uncomfortable hammocks in their tiny rooms below deck which smelt of damp and sweat. The anchor was lowered and the whole ship shook as it hit the ocean floor with a huge thud – startling hundreds of sea urchins and fish around it.

But there was something mystical and powerful beneath the water, lurking through the seaweed and floating amongst the starfish that desperately clung onto rocks. Something mystical, powerful, and envious. This monster grabbed a large rock and began to angrily pound at the chain of the anchor. The monster was so strong and determined that each time the stone hit the metal chain the entire ship rocked violently, which made gigantic waves and splashes of water. Everything inside the ship was thrown around and tipped upside down. Bottles smashed against the ceiling and men were viciously flung from one side of the room to the other. The huge metal anchor was to remain at the bottom of the ocean forever more, whilst the ship wandered off into the distance, with all of the crew inside battered to a pulp, bleeding to death. If you’re ever out in the ocean at night, look out at the ripples of water and you can sometimes still hear the chain rattling beneath the calm and peace of the waves.
