  Summary

  "He tries to speak, but he can't. He wouldn't know what to say anyway. He fought so hard to stay alive, but this doesn't feel like he’s alive anymore. He closes his eyes, just to blink, but he can't seem to open them back up. At least he’s not going to die in that metal coffin."

  What if the fish didn't attack the SM-13 or SM-14 at the very end of the movie? maybe this.

   

  Ignore things being out of order, I've seen the movie twice and still can't remember the order of things. :')
