Chapter One-The End

A Chapter by RainbowNinja

‘You know the place where the sun kisses the water? Or where the desert meets the sea? I want to live in that place. I wish fire could touch snow sometimes, without it melting. You know what melting snow is? Tears- the tears of the elements because they can’t be together.’

Chapter One-The End

The steady pulse of hot blood beneath deadly cold skin. I was surprised I hadn't died yet. 20 feet under and still dragged down. I knew I was dying; being pulled beneath. But it was as if all sound, all feeling had been turned off. Only the heavy lead weight in my lungs and the pressure of thousands of pounds of water on my head. It was hard to think straight. As if my thoughts had slipped into the murky ocean around me. I didn’t even struggle. I probably only had seconds before that final...that dreaded...feared...merciless last breath. That last breath where not even air fills your lungs. A sad, lonely way to die. Forgotten beneath the surface. Just another of the ocean’s cold trophies. Could heaven even reach me down here? Could Death save me from this nightmare?

Yes. Death would save me. Death would come and set me on my feet again. He would allow me to live on until I found that happy place. The place in which I was born, and where I wished to die. Where the sun kisses the water; where the desert meets the sea. Been dead a hundred times but I've lived a thousand lives. Instead of killing me, Death allowed me to live. Never did he take my soul. For Death, had fallen in love.

That’s when the water filled my lungs in one last, hungry breath, and my world went dark.
