Preface
My hair whipped across my face, my legs burned from exhaustion but I had to keep going. I turned the corner. No. It was a dead end, just a pier stretching out to the ocean. I heard them running, shouting from behind me. I couldn’t stop. I lurched forward. No, too fast. I lay crumpled on the ground. Was this how I was going to die? No, I had to keep going, for mum, dad, Izzy, Charlie. Richard. I jumped to my feet, all of their faces filled my mind. I ran towards the pier, the smell of rotting fish filled my nose. I shuddered. I raced across the uneven surface, never looking back. I knew they were following me, were they ever going to stop? I skidded to a stop just before the edge of the pier. I looked down at the dark swirling water and up at the black swirling storm brewing. I heard them racing across the dock but I barely registered it. His face took over my mind. Richard. I thought of every detail, his face, his breath, his smell and finally his ocean blue eyes I immediately trusted. I held my nose and jumped. The ice water swirled around me, but no matter how cold I was I still felt warm. I felt death swirl around me, but instead of fighting it I embraced it. I felt my lungs burning in protest but I ignored it. Slowly my weak fights against the tide slowed until they stopped. Richard, I love you.
