I will complain about the ending as well. However, it's not its brevity that is the problem, it's how it doesn't seem that you wrote it. It seems you asked someone less well-read and talented to finish it off for you. I was disappointed because the writing is very engaging, but the ending was very predictable.

I haven't read all the comments beneath me, so forgive me if it has been mentioned before, but this story made me think of Lovecraft's "The Temple", due to its wordiness and theme (and I mean wordiness in a completely positive manner).

You had me terrified at the parts where I wasn't supposed to be, however, as I am frankly quite horrified of the ocean.

Thanks for this.
