A higher power, or

IF I HAD to choose someplace to die, this would be it.
Maybe I wouldn’t have chosen the journey it took to get here—I’d
happily skip the alien abduction and trafficking bit. But as I drift into a
brightly-colored, unknown ocean, it’s pretty damn peaceful.
I learned long ago that worrying about things out of my control was
useless. I could rage, scream, and slam my fist into my plastic security
bubble, but it won’t make a difference.
I am going to die, and I’m going to wonder at the beauty of this place
before I go. I doubt another human has seen these rainbow-hued fishlike
creatures swimming by. A set of googly eyes dangle from long stalks below
their torpedo-shaped bodies. Their scales glint in the sunlight as the schools
float around me, almost reminding me of camera flashes back on Earth.
I take a deep breath and try to enjoy their unearthly elegance, leaning
my back against the gently curving wall of my security pod.
This plastic bubble I’ve danced in has become familiar. I know every
scratch and ding. Despite how much you claw at its wall, it won’t open from
the inside.
Whatever space-age plastic the Deenz aliens use is robust. I don’t know
how much of the growing pressure it can handle as we descend further into
the depths of this seemingly bottomless ocean.
The sunlight from the surface is ever waning, and the waters around me
get darker and murkier the further I fall.
Another breath fills my chest as I try to quell the anxiety creeping in
from the peripherals of my psyche. The school of creatures follows me like
companions ushering me to the afterlife.
I put a hand against the plastic enclosure to thank them for not leaving
me alone. I’ve always loved the ocean. Many of my tattoos are of
underwater scenes: the coral reef on my calf, the stingray guarding my
bicep, and my favorite tattoo—Aphrodite reclined on the half shell on my
shoulder.
My soul has always been called to the water, so I guess this demise is
fitting.
Thanks, universe, or whatever higher power controls this kind of thing.
As I try to project my gratitude to these little aquatic creatures and some
higher power, I catch a flash of yellow from the corner of my eye. It moves
too fast for me to get a good look. Spinning around in my bubble, I search
for whatever it was.
As the school of alien fish shift suddenly to the left, I see him.
A muscular canary-yellow alien, his head full of pulsating tentacles,
gapes at me. The tentacles shift as if moved by the underwater currents.
They splay around his head like a lion’s mane. His strong arms and legs
pump as he descends with my bubble.
I say “he” because his cock is something you really can’t miss. It isn’t
hard, but still floats proudly on display. His dick’s impressive length is
nestled in tentacles similar to the ones that surround his head, but they
