Friday August, 29th - Two Moons

  The red alert light flashes brightly through the Closter phobic hallways of the SSN Blowfish. The navigator swings around quickly and reports that there is a major storm approaching and that we must find calm waters deeper into the ocean. Just then a streak of lightning leaps out of the clouds and into nearby waters. Our instruments go haywire and we commence to dive quickly and without warning into the sea.
  The Blowfish dived for three minutes or so before we came into the no dive zone which is where we are not permitted to dive any further down sense the ocean floor would be too close for comfort. The navigator once more swings around and reports that we are in the clear of the storm for now and that we dove about 600 feet. We were in the Challenger's Deep, the deepest part of the ocean. This part of the ocean is about 36,200 feet deep in the western Pacific Ocean.
  It was strange, although the navigator said we only dove 600 feet in three minutes, it felt longer, it felt like we dove deeper. It was something I kept in the back of my mind as the Blowfish and crew prepared for resurfacing. We got to our stations in a hurry and awaited orders from the navigator. The Blowfish resurfaced with almost no effort from the crew inside sense the waters were now calm. Calmer than they should be, I thought.
  The commanding officer came out to congratulate us on our intense dive to avoid the storm, and that we could get on aluminum soil. To get on aluminum soil means that we could go out on top of the submarine and get some fresh air, something we didn't get to do very often. Leland, a fellow crew member, opened the air tight hatch and yelled down, "different air from the tank, ain't that right boys". I proceeded to climb the ladder to the top and peered out and around the Blowfish's bow. Something was wrong we weren't far from land when we dove, now there wasn't land at all.
  The navigator poked his head out of the hatch and said, "that's right we actually dove six leagues into the Challenger's Deep and resurfaced some where I've never even heard about". Everyone's expressions were the same, confusion. I gazed into the dim night and noticed the extra moon pasted in the sky. The thoughts I had about the dive came to my eyes. I got a swift and crooked idea about what had occurred. Were we upside down? Are we inside the Earth? Many crew members now stared at me thinking I was inside the cabin for too long.
  Leland, who seemed to always be full of ideas, proposed his. "Maybe sense there are two moons gravity would probably be reversed which held this place together". So all of this would be ground water". The crazy thought hit my head and I realized why the Challenger's Deep was so deep the moon has constantly been pulling he Earth inside out. I've sent a message in a bottle waiting for someone to send help sense the stronger gravity doesn't allow us to leave. We have just been waiting for help, and are still waiting.
