“I was not expecting to see what I found inside that cave.”

I was not expecting to see what I found inside that cave. I had expected to find normal things, rocks and slime and the like. Imagine my surprise when I instead found a flashlight and some large bones, human bones. This was not a place that another human should have been in, especially with a flashlight. My oxygen tank was running low as I began to head back to the surface of the water. That’s when I heard the strange noise behind me. I swam faster, but I knew it was no use. It was coming.
