Extinct
“He stared through his faceplate at the depression running from below him out into the distance like a shallow V-ditch cut across a sandy beach.
He refocused his eyes to be certain he wasn’t viewing some kind of distortion caused by the mask’s glass or an optical illusion caused by the water. He wasn’t. It was like a shallow V-ditch, but more rounded than a V. A wave above caused sand to slide down the gentle slope at a side of the sunken area.
Not realizing he had stopped breathing from the ins...tant he had seen the depression, he suddenly felt the need for a breath. He took in a great gulp of the cool air, self-consciously glanced back at the diver behind him, and settled closer to the bottom.
The depression ran into the distance, so shallow it lost its shape in the haze of water and the surrounding sand and patches of sea grasses to its sides. A wave’s backwash caused more sand to crumble below him.
He kicked his flippers softly, starting along the sunken area. Its length clicked off in his mind.MoreLess
