"We Took A Trip To The Ocean. There's Something Horrifying In The Water" | Creepypasta | Scary Story

[@dawsonbalencia3119]

Hello, author here! Thank you so much for the narration Stephen; you have no idea how excited seeing this in my feed made me. I've been an aspiring writer for quite some time and this was the first short story I ever submitted. It was rejected by about 12 publications before I kind of abandoned it in my files for three years. As I'm trying to be published again, I wanted to see what people would think of my earliest attempt - readers not editors. I never expected this when I submitted this to nosleep, but this is a dream come true. You did so good and I feel honored. Thank you Stephen, and to everyone else: enjoy and I hope to be telling you more stories soon. Dawson Balencia~

That's such a lovely yet foreboding story. The protagonist is an extremely likeable and believable character, which is what makes the story just that bit more realistic. Thank you.

[@SomeLonelyShmuck]

The ones about the ocean or the abyss are my favorite. I also like Eldritch Horror styled stories. Both are fascinating because instead of shock factor they tackle the unknown. It's like answering a question people have asked with a terror or pondered concept. We need more Bermuda Triangle stories for sure.

The funny thing is, the Pacu fish actually *does* have teeth that are nearly identical to a human's. Super painful bite because the teeth are blunt and thick, instead of needle-like or thin and serrated that's common with other types of fish.

[@greenwitchinc.1682]

I love how this teacher orders everyone to show him their teeth. Asks the protagonist What happened to the girl. But literally has no interest in actually asking the girl herself what happened. Then immediately lets the kids go back into the water. Lol! Teacher of the year ladies and gentlemen. 😅

[@af6923]

Yeah but somethings bite in the ocean 🤷‍♀️ or sting - I was in the ocean and had an immenssssse pain shot through my leg. Omg it was bad. I was carried to the shore. It was a tiny purple hole that didn’t bleed but the pain was intense. Not like everyone had to get out of the ocean for it. Same day my dad was bumped hard it almost knocked him over, he grabbed the littler kids and held them as high as he could in his retreat to shore. It’s the ocean 🤷‍♀️

[@Prizzlesticks]

I was JUST sayin' how weird ocean life is, including Promachoteuthis sulcus (a squid with human-like teeth, wtf even is that) and Sheepshead fish. A fish with multiple rows of human teeth. They're just unsettling. Don't think either of them scream or babble like humans though. I'm not a marine biologist though, so don't quote me on that.

[@daniell1483]

This is actually very well written. I love how the "monster/unidentified fish" mirrors the quote from the beginning. In a way, it makes the circle complete, wondering what came first, the quote or the fish. Great narration kept me on the edge of my seat.

[@FreaKCSGOHacker]

"I think there is something in the water" I mean, yeah. There's fish.

[@dawsonbalencia3119]

You just wrote the story better than I did. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@RedVRCC]

The funny thing is that there actually does exist a species of fish with teeth eerily similar to human teeth, but iirc it's a deep water species, not something you'd find near the surface.

[@patricialessard8651]

It's funny, I just read an article about some people finding a fish with teeth that looked human. There was a picture of it and it did look strange. I don't know how it could have been hoaxed but there's always that possibility I suppose. Great story and narration as usual. Thank you!

It's sweet how he put the fish back usually when people see something different they equate it to evil and think it needs to be destroyed good on him for letting it live

Tell that to the people the fish ate whole next year as it had an enormous growth spurt!

[@witchycat5432]

@@UncleEarl97i like to give things the benefit of the doubt unless I know otherwise . Humans tend to occasionally be monster and monsters on occasion tend to be good. After the first person eaten though I would be dealing with it myself. I'm a hunter so once something proves to be dangerous it isn't long before I take it out.

[@dereks_island]

Funny short story that goes along, i lived in Honolulu when i was 13/14. In the Summer, we would get on my parents smallish sail boat. We would sail for about an entire day until we lost sight of all land for a day. We'd drop anchor and "camp" in the middle of the ocean. It's a surreal experience to say the least. The water is the exact same color blue as the sky. So you look down and you can't tell how fast down you can see but you know it's extremely fast down. Point of the story is when you inevitably jump in, your mind can't fully process what happens next. On a clear skyless day with no motion in the water, you float and when you look into the distance, you can't really tell if you're in the ocean you're floating in the sky. The only thing that levels you out or enables you to keep your sanity is the water making you wet. Even than, at least it did for me every time we went out for the week, you have a period of time where your mind can't differentiate between the 2. The first few times i freaked out and see many a person do the same. The only group of people i saw it have no effect on was a group of NAVY SEALS. My mom and step dad were lifer navy people so they had Navy men and women of all sorts. I even saw 1 navy man get partially bothered. He didn't freak as i did but you could see the unease cross his face is only for a few moments. This story just reminded me of those trips

I got a sudden rush of something and I made my way to the ropes that were dividing the side of beach and I pulled myself back to shore my mom didn't believe me till she saw a boat pull up my float and bring it back to us.

okay so a disturbing fish fact: There are indeed fish that have teeth that're uncannily similar to human teeth. Triggerfish use said teeth to crush coral, and then there is the pacu, a mostly herbivorous cousin to the more infamous pirhanna, in their native Amazon habitat they're peaceful chunguses. But in New Guinea, where they are invasive, the pacu has eaten so much vegetation that it ran outa food and decided to use its human like teeth to dine on everything else: baby crocs, baby ducks, some poor man's crotch. Firgured I'd drop these facts after hearing about the first attack in the story, in order to unease anyone who had doubts of how this could happen in the ocean, which it can.
