"CAPTAIN, KILL THE LIGHTS!" I hissed, "Hurry!"

My frantic words barely went past gritted lips but somehow, in some way, the Captain thankfully understood what I was planning.

Because just as the thing came barreling towards us, he managed to turn off the headlights then made a sharp swerve as he drove the submarine around then up, right into the direction which we came.

Then, there was a vindicated scream echoing powerfully around us–and I know there and then the sound it made was the same in the video; a warbling, wailing, inhuman sort of noise that made the hairs on the back of my hair stand straight as a particularly rough wave caused our vessel to jostle a bit, the glass rattling for a terrifying moment at the impact.

What made it even more terrifying is the fact that it seems to come from nowhere and everywhere at once.

Then, there was silence.

...Nothing but deafening silence.
