Panning in to Zeke lying on the sand listening to the ocean waves crashing and gazing out at the star filled sky. Suddenly 2 long tentacle-like arms grab him by the ankles pulling him into the ocean. Zeke struggles, grasping handfuls of sand in resistance.

Suddenly he's beneath the water being pulling deeper and deeper into the nothingness. S lungs feeling as if they'll burst at any moment. Suddenly there's a small glimmer of light and his body begins to relax.

He gets his first glimpse of the creature that has dragged him into what he feels will most certainly be his watery grave. It has long tentacle like arms and legs and hair as matted as the wildest seaweed. Two glowing eyes are fixed on his face as it continues to pull him along to the light.

Suddenly he is sucked inside this glowing hole and surrounded by hundreds of creatures like the one that captured him. Slowly the creature releases its grip and he simply floats as they begin to make soft murmurs. After what seemed an eternity several of the tentacle like arms began touching, probing his very existence.

He wasn't restrained but his body was physically incapable of moving. He tried to scream out in rage but he made no sound. The probing continued and suddenly one of the beings leaned over his face and place what he assumed were lips against his lips and began to suck the very air from his body.

They're killing him and he doesn't even know why. He doesn't know who or what they are or what they want with him. NEXT SCENE: Total darkness begins to slowly shift into light as Zeke's body is morphing to one of the creatures.

Slowly, scene shifts from Zeke to the moonlight over the ocean and back to the beach where a man lies on the sand looking up at the stars. Was it a dream or do aliens really exist below in the depths of the ocean?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
