Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea · Chapter 10
The Nautilus
The Pacific · Night
The three of them float on the iron hull. The hatch opens: they can go in as guests, or push away and swim.
The sea monster is a submarine. The three men are taken aboard; Nemo tells them they may not return to land. The twenty thousand leagues in the original begin at this hatch.
Entering copies the original opening into a timeline of your own. The original itself is not changed.
