Not many people know what it’s like to die.
But I did.
The thought held me as I let the cold, relentless depths of the sea take
me once again, dragging me under as I fell weightlessly through the abyss,
just as I did every night, and my arms dried outward while I waited for the
inevitable end to come. I knew it was in the darkness below, just beyond
my fingerps.
It was always there.
The call of death, the sweet promise of an end to this empty nightmare.
I’ve grown red of waing for it. Night aer night, the broken memories of
my past weighed me down and lulled me to sleep as I slipped into the
same tangible dream of nothingness.
I sank into the sea like a leaf falling to the ground–knowing I’d never
reach it–and the cold darkness slowly rose to meet me as I waited to wake

tornado, aghast at the sight before me. I’d had this crippling nightmare
every night since I was four, and never did it end like this.
The light hovered above, blocking out the starless sky, and my jaw hung
as I stared up at it in wonder, just as the wild sea twirled into a spout and
dove into my gaping mouth, forcing its way inside my body, filling every
brimming inch of me unl I gaged on it.
My back slammed into the rock, and I gasped for breath as I shot up in
bed.
“Fuck,” I breathed and ran my hand through sweaty white curls.
The early morning sun burst through my window blinds, casng a
paern of stripes across my bedroom. I grabbed the tepid water from my
