PROLOGUE

Drowning...

Something that I never thought would have ever happened to me. Not even in my wildest dreams. As someone who knows how to swim and has won several swimming competitions, this is actually kind of embarrassing.

Just a few hours ago, I was happy, celebrating my university graduation with my family and friends and the next thing you know, I am here, suffocating, slowly losing my consciousness. Sinking deeper and deeper as the current of the Murray river gets stronger and stronger.

'Was it worth it saving that little boy?'

'Yes'

'Do I regret it?'

'No'

I didn't. At least I die as a hero...

I wish someone could have told me this would happen, I would have not completed my degree, what a waste of time. But on the bright side, I don't have to spend the rest of my life paying my student debt.

The full blue moon is so beautiful tonight, what a pity.

My thoughts got cut off as I finally succumb to the darkness.
