Unknown POV :
The sun was slowly sinking. I couldn't quite comprehend what was happening. So many things were happening at once.
The man was sinking so fast. The tides looked like an assassin determined to kill him. I was the one who freed them. But now I don't feel like doing anything at all.
I was too mesmerized by the two people playing with their lives in the red sky's background and the setting sun. One was fighting against the strong tide, and the other was welcoming it like an old friend that he missed.
I could hear the woman calling for help. But I was too stunned by what was happening to me. It was like I have finally found something that was missing in the puzzle of my life. The puzzle was completed, I felt complete...
I knew what I was doing made no sense at all. I freed them, and now I am watching them die. I should have released them for a reason. But there was none. Even now, I had no reason to save them or watch them die. I had already signed my death sentence when I rescued them. Now, what to do? I was as clueless as any other without a purpose. I felt I have done all I could.
Now I am left with nothing. My decisions made me feel satisfied. Now I feel like all the choices I ever made were to satisfy others.
I paused all those thoughts for a moment and focused on what was in front of me, what was supposed to be my doing that I had done on my impulse just for myself. And I felt immeasurably satisfied.
