WORLD UNDERNEATH by Arjun Taneja

Seth Kingsley was a quiet gardener who believed in just doing his job which was to tend to the garden of the Montgomery family. The Montgomery family was the richest family in the town of Springfield, Colorado. Seth had two kids named Stephen, and Sydel. His wife was named Ayesha. After Seth had finished tending to the garden on a fine sunday, He and his family went scuba diving on the magnificent Terry Ocean. Seth’s favorite place in the world was Terry Ocean.

On this fine day, Seth was going to plunge into the world underneath first. Seth plunged into the cold water and scoped around for fishes and other interesting creatures. Seth suddenly saw a big brown barnacle floating towards the sea floor. Seth wanted to explore but decided it wasn’t worth it and he should go back up to the surface and get help.”Down there” Seth sputtered. “A ship, wrecked.” Seth said.

“What?” said the captain who had taken them out to sea to scuba-dive said.

“I’m telling you there's a ship sunk down there.” Seth said.

“Let’s head back to let others know and get help.” the captain said. They made their way back to shore and alerted the police chief, officer Kennedy about the shipwreck. Officer Kennedy asked about what the ship looked like and said that the police officers would get on it right away. Seth wanted to know what happened the next day, when the police officers investigated underwater. Seth then found out that several police officers had been wounded when they went near the ship a gas of some sort had exploded and wounded them. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Seth opened the door and was startled by what he saw. “Are you Seth Kingsley”? The officer asked.

“Yes” Seth said.

“We’re going to need you to come to the station with us right away.” the officer said.

Seth knew what had happened, sweat dripped down his skin as he sat down in the backseat of the police car. Once he entered the police station, he was sat down across what looked like a very important person. “Seth, we have brought you here today on charges of trying to kill officer.”

“That’s not true, I was only trying to bring the ship to safety.” Seth said.

“There was serious radiation coming from that ship that killed one officer and wounded three more that went underwater.” the officer said.

“I just wanted to save that ship.” Seth said.

“We understand, but we need you to stay at the station until we find out more.” the officer said. Seth agreed because he thought his name would probably be cleared. Seth was granted a call to his lawyer and he knew he would be taken to court. On the day of his trial, Seth was very nervous because if he didn’t win his case he might be taken to jail. Seth was very confused at the trial because the two lawyers battled it out using unfamiliar terms and loud voices. Seth heard the final verdict, though as the lawyer determined Seth should have had better knowledge of the situation before getting the cops involved and sentenced him to 80 hours of community service. Seth got home and was still wondering who would sabotage him like that.

When he got inside, he heard screams and shouts from the basement. Seth rushed down to the basement and saw his whole family tied up. After untying them, Seth found a note that said redrum, he did not know what that meant until he flipped the note to the back. Murder spelled backwards is redrum.
