#84: They Needed a Plan

The door before them remained obstinately blocked, as did every other access point to the hatch. Kelsey’s heart sank as she considered the possibility that the submersible had been severed from The Patriot by its sinister interloper. With a sense of defeat settling over her, Kelsey sank to the floor, surrounded by the ominous sound of slithering drawing ever closer. The darkness hungered for them, and there seemed to be no escape.

Closing her eyes, she struggled to devise a plan amidst the encroaching despair. Suddenly, Luke’s screams shattered the oppressive silence as he unleashed a frenzied assault on the door with an emergency ax he had found. The echoes of his desperate strikes reverberated through the claustrophobic confines of the sub, a defiant cry against the encroaching darkness.
