Author’s Note Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the rewrite of Deep, one of my first attempts at web fiction on GRP. Unfortunately, due to its considerable length, I was forced to abandon the project and focus more on articles and shorter forms of fiction. I write this now as a way to appease the few readers…
