I closed my eyes...

I jumped. I leapt. I lunged. I fell. I dive...

The ocean above me drew closer and closer... The sea welcomed me into the abyss as I was just another reflection of a suicide attempt. Why how I longed for this freedom. But am I committing suicide? Or just letting myself go...

The water ravaged as it reached out before me with its licking claws, and I to it. Longing for its eternal embrace. As if we were fated to be one.

My heart pounded with exhiliration and everything went in slow-motion. I began to see the rippling patterns of the liquid surface. Then... Splash! The water sprayed with mist for it shared the pain I felt. My head cracked with throbbing, the result of my brain turning to mush and my skull becoming fractured.

My whole body perforated the surface. The ocean swallowed me... The water slipped and splayed, trying to adapt with my body contours. I became asphyxiated while the ocean's weight surrounded me and pushed against me. Constricting me unforgivingly. As a reflex, I opened my mouth gasping for oxygen that never existed.

The predator saw the chance of finishing its prey. The liquid tendrils filled my mouth and slid down my throat. Drowning my lungs. Little bubbles of air travelled through my throat and passed my mouth. Abandoning me for my act and left me for dead.

My head pounded, I couldn't think clearly. I saw the playful light dancing around, taunting me. The darkness ahead, looked ominous yet, peaceful.

I began to hallucinate. Lethargy overtook me. I had a strong desire to fall asleep.

I drowned. I die...

Oh how I wished for air and solid ground...

Posted by Egoist 2008-02-04 20:50:57 .... Heh, this is truly a great story. It reminds me of the ocean...I think anyone who has been to the ocean more than once has had the chance to feel as though you were drowning. Besides that, it also reminds me of the first dive after I got my scuba diving license...That didn't go so well... Sorry for the random stuff. Really enjoyed the story. + Report this comment
Posted by LittleCelticFairy1992 2008-05-05 20:16:27 Oh wow It's beautiful but really sad. I guess the best stories though come from our worst fears. The emotions are very real, it's like you can really see what this person is really thinking. It's scary how the person starts to change his mind but then he gives in to the dark. Very beautiful story. + Report this comment
