A story about a boy that gets left behind and wrapped up in more than he can handle.
---------
Drowning, I'm drowning... My head goes underwater for one last time, and my final breath floats to the surface. I don't bother screaming. I'm alone, and nobody will hear me this far underground. If they could, it would be impossible underwater.
I knew this mission would be dangerous, and now I'm paying the price for my recklessness; the cost is death. If I weren't careless with my life, if I'd left with my brother... I would have lived. But now I'll be free, at last I'll be safe from my mother's wrath and my father's rage.
