Extend the Story - Add a Room

The water looks clear and cool and would do wonders for your sore and sweaty body. You start to relieve yourself of your equipment and shimmy down to just your underthings. You stop for a moment, you couldn't be farther from society and no one would know if...

A naughty grin spreads across your face as your remove your final layers of clothes and bare yourself before the empty lake. The nip in the air sends goosebumps racing across your skin, but the adrenaline keeps your heart beating fast and your cheeks warm. You dip an experimental hand into the water before throwing caution to the wind and rushing into the water diving down as soon as the depth allows.

You open your eyes under the splashing waves you create just in time to see fish scatter out of your warring path. You resurface with a gasp for air and a satisfied smile as you begin to float and wade and enjoy the freedom being countless feet deep gives you. It's easy to forget all your trouble bobbing gently up and down. Feeling the gentle touch as a fish glides by.

Or not so gentle. Something grips you ankle and starts to pull. You try and kick free but it holds stead fast as it pulls you under the water. Bubble cloud your vision as you thrash and kick hoping to escape whatever has you in it's clutches. You open your eyes wide and finally get a glimpse of what has you.

You think it's a man at first. He looks so much like one. A young but sculpted face peers at you with strangle elongated pupils. He grabs you with hands that would be average if not for the webbed skin that connects the fingers. his muscular form is as you might except until you reach his hips. There are no human legs to be found, instead eight tentacle appendages extend out almost like a skirt. You can tell not it is one such tentacle that holds your ankle in a vice grip and more reach towards you to do the same.

With his hands the creature reaches up and holds your chin, looking intensively at your face and puffed cheeks. He seems distracted, no might be your only chance.

Punch him
