I sat in the boat with my six cats, wondering what happened to my life. Where did I go wrong, I ask myself as I watch the fog dance in the sky. Almost like magic the fog began to part, revealing an empty sea that I couldn't comprehend yet. I dreamt what my life could have been, if i didn't make that stupid mistake. 

I rocked back and forth with waves lapping against my boat as the cats purred around me. PRRRRRRR. The water was almost as black as my soul. I couldn't help but look down at my own reflection until my picture began to become dissorinted. I felt it coming in my bones.

The storm.

One cat gone. Five left. I felt my sanity leave with its dying breath. Nowhere else to go, nothing else to live for. My body went into shock as my foot hit the ice cold water. I could feel my heart race as if it was a drum in my ears. I hear faint voices of children in the distance. How I wish I could go back to that time. My eyes close, I hear one last pur from my cats.  As i feel the darkness close around me i cant help but feel weightless. When I see the light it is my body below me crashing upon the waves as my cats slowly step off the boat as well following my actions.
