Toya:  

The sun slowly set on the west side of town as I walked home from another shift at the Y. Saving life's wasn't the funnest thing ever but its the only way I can make money. Today, I nearly drowned myself trying to save this monster of a man, who apparently didn't know how to swim. Mhmmm. I wonder how I got to the side of the pool with him still floating? Anyways, once I find a new job, I'm going to take it. I'm sick of careless kids, rude adults and fat men who think they can all swim. The Brooklyn sidewalks were clear about this time, waiting for the punks and woes. I sighed wishing my street was as clear as this. Turning towards it, I was instantly hit with overwhelming worry. In front of my house was an ambulance with its lights flashing. Running, I made it just in time to see them pull my mother out of the house. She look terrible, her sickness finally got to her. For months, years, she's been getting worst. It started when my father died and now I think this might just be the end for her. Warm tears started coming to my eyes, I'm going to lose yet another parent. I slowly approached the men, loading her onto the truck. 

"I'm her daughter. May I come with her?" I said to one, grief stuck in my voice. He nodded and I climbed in with her, taking her hand in my own. She stared up at me with a small smile on her face, happy I was there. "Mama...... Don't leave me yet! I still need you." I said through the tears going down my face. She didn't change, still smiling.  

"Mama? Answer me!" She turned her head and weakly squeezed my hand.  

"He needs me now, dear. I love you and remember..... one day he'll need you too.... dont--" She coughed, blood starting to come out of her mouth. "F-forget..... him..... ever." With that she became limp with her eyes still wide open and her hand in mine. The small smile still there also. I bowed my head and cried my heart out. That was the last time I heard of God in a very very long time.

Two days later- 

I turned on the Tv, with my dinner in my lap. Returning home from work was the most joyful thing in my life now. My mother's departure was host yesterday by me at our church, Sunnyhills. All her friends and old family was there with big smiles and memories to share. My family never was much for a sad memorial, Its always happy and celebrating. Because another person has gone to heaven to serve God. I sighed thinking of them and turned my attention back torwards the Tv. "And for Breaking News: Shelbey Mac reporting." The news switched to a dark skined women in a white suit, standing in front of some building. "Thank you, Max. Today, here at the chemical center, ten people escaped with supposedly really strange diseases. They escaped while injurying and eatting the flesh of the works in this building. Now social services are in the building trying to figure out who escaped and where they might of gone. Stay tuned for updates. Back to you, Max." I stared at the screen for a minute, 'why does the building look familiar? Wait..... I walk past it everyday. Its only a block away from the Y. How strange of that to happen.' I shrugged it off and finished eatting dinner. Nothing new came up so I cut the Tv off and went to sleep, not knowing that a update came on as soon as I went to bed.

The next day- 

I awoke early and went to work, already dressed for the day. My favorite lifeguard outfit. Including my red hoodie (that had Lifeguard written on it, with the white cross), white swimming shorts and bathingsuit (with red thread), and my favorite leather jacket. (Since it was a little chill this morning. Walking down to the Y was normal, besides the news crew and works at that chemical center. I checked in and started duty as the first in. I took off my jackets and smiled knowing today was the young classes, so I didn't have to worry about much drowning due to the other teachers helping. As I climbed up onto the lifeguard stand, I noticed something in the bottom of the pool. It moved but It didn't come up, figuring it might be a hazard to the children, I dove in to retrieve it. It was the biggest mistake in my life. I swum down to it, taking note that (as I got closer) it looked like a human. When I got within five feet, I realized it was, indeed, a human. It turned and bared sharp teeth at me, a growl sounding through the water. Its eyes were an unusual color and there was long claws on its hands. It reached for me, swiping its long claws at me. It missed, barely. I panicked, started swimming towards the surface. It followed me, swiping and growled and screeching. I made it to the other side of the pool and screamed but unluckily it grabbed my leg and dragged me back under, holding me there as it scratched my bathing suit top. It ripped my skin, creating a red cloud to surround us. I was slowly losing to the darkness of unconscious. I closed my eyes and quit fighting, knowing it was impossible. I wasn't going to survive this..... this thing was going to kill me and I was going to go and meet my mother. Losing it, the darkness swallowed me. And I didn't feel the thing scratching me anymore, it just complete disappeared.... I disappeared. Just nothingness. For a long time..... 'Where's God??? I'm supposed to be in heaven now.. I'm quite sure. Where's my new body, home, my mom?? Dad?' My memories started to fade a little after that... one by one. All until the last moments of life. I held on to that and the memory of God.
