The cold water rushes around me, enveloping me into a frozen embrace. I feel a hot sting sparking into my veins, quickly replacing the warmth of the air swirling within my lungs. The cold is seeping into my bones, skeletal fingers of ice scraping against stone.
What beautiful colours! I think to myself, noticing the deep blues clinging to the edge of my blurring vision, the navy blue fading to black as it gets deeper, fading to royal blue and then blending into emerald greens at the surface. I should draw this, the colors are beautiful, I think as my vision begins to darken and my thoughts melt together with the colds' electric touch.
Sudden realization hits, air leaving my lungs, water embracing my limp body, cold making me forget... My thoughts resurface as I remember what happened. Bunching my tight muscles, I kick up with my legs and dragging myself up with full strength. The water's lead grip resists my uprising, I feel the current pushing down, the nerves screaming at my muscles, screaming at them to make myself move up to take a breath.
The light is finally in sight! But why do I still feel so empty?
A light hits, a new light, different from that coming down through the surface of the liquid-glass.
The bright white stabs through my clenched eyelids and images burned themselves into the backs of my eyelids, surfacing from the recesses of my mind where I've tried to bury them. I see the screen with words flashing up reminding myself of the reason I brought myself here in the first place.
I let go, dropping the instinct to survive. I've done it! They told me I couldn't! not that they would care.... I drift down regaining the depth I've lost. The cold's static turning into a soothing buzz, radiating warmth as my vision fades to black.
Through the tunnel that's quickly closing in on my mind, I see the one thing I expected last.
It's too late, the deed is done.
