Day 456

We have explored around 5% of our oceans and found it too much to bear.
The unexplainable thrives in the air-deprived depths where hydrogen sulfide "rivers" flow.
Divers report strange fish swimming through it, impossible creatures.

Fins that reach endlessly upwards, eyes with countless pupils swarming and staring and knowing.
In some parts divers claimed they saw a house and their families inside.
Those ones always went missing, bones washed ashore a week or so later picked clean.

It's hard to say for sure if there is a house down there.
For all we know it could just be oxygen deprivation or some kind of chemical exposure.
Either way, the teeth marks on the remains are always human.

Local legends on that area do talk about strange people, something similar to mermaids.
Their appearance was near indistinguishable from a human though a few features stood out.
Namely their eyes (far larger than any humans) and voice (like talking through a glass).

They couldn't walk on land, turned the water around them to poison (hydrogen sulphide perhaps?)
and were always surrounded by a ring of dead fish and sea birds.
It was mentioned that they lived deep beneath the waves in a house of human bones.
