Darkness reprieve

Chapter 44

I'm on the ocean floor yet again.

Drowning yet again.

I close my eyes, accepting fate, but I'm looking at the thundering sky above me as raindrops hit my body after I open them.

A flash of lightning blinded me.

When I could see again, that same figure is pinning me down, hands on my neck.

I don't even try to resist.

I know I'm going to die.

I don't even need to shed a tear anymore.

I just can't feel anything.

I did at first, but its all gone now.

I wake up yet again, this time knowing I won't feel.

I don't even know if I'm ever going to be able to feel again, considering I'm a thousand miles beneath the surface.
