“In the black abyss, there were creatures that even demons feared. No one knew what they looked like, not even themselves, for they were blind, and though many were scavengers, seizing and consuming any stray bits of food that'd sunk down from the higher levels, there were predators too, just waiting for larger prey.” SeaOceanBlindDeepAbyssPreyPredatorFishCreature Book:Lifemaker Source: Lifemaker
“As the vessel fell, the pressure rose. The hull creaked as if held inside the crushing fist of a giant, or the chomping maw of a giant fish. The most senior officers were unperturbed by the groaning of the metal, for they knew that the hull was thick and could withstand the terrible pressures of the deep, but the confidence of many others was shaken when bolts burst out of their holdings, striking walls, breaking the glass of gaslights, and even hitting members of the crew with a most violent force.” SeaOceanPressureDeepHullSubmarine Book:Lifemaker Source: Lifemaker

“And it was to the bottom that the vessel now plunged, into the waters that were blacker than any black on land, into a gloom that was more consuming than the deepest night. Were the crew not focused on their frenzied work to stop the steep descent, they might've glanced out one of the many round windows, and they might've thought that they were looking into the black iris of an evil creature—and they might've been right.” EvilWaterDarknessSeaOceanBottomDeepAbyssGloomCreature Book:Lifemaker Source: Lifemaker
