A merely poetic story about a middle-aged woman exploring love and lust after a nearly-fatal intentional drowning to escape her husband and her life. Through grief and joy, Eleanore is always accompanied by her one true friend, the Reaper. Her rebellious and at times murderous tendencies let her live life, the way she wants. TW: suicide (not gore), drugs (heroin), light description of physical abuse Important: This story takes place in the 1950's in Great Britain and the narrator is made to be old-timey and old-fashioned, these are not my true beliefs ! I also try to make things accurate, however if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me. This story is intended to have lots of imagery, metaphors and has a poetic touch to it, if that's not your thing, that's okay ! Please give criticism :D Note: this is fairly simple english

"Pl...please...water...", I tried to scream but it came out more of a whisper. I heard footsteps approaching me and he stopped a few metres away from me and waited. "Please", I begged him. He came closer and poured the water on my mouth. I tried to drink it all but ended up leaving most of it on my dress. "Who are you? Why did you take me?", I asked him but there was no response. "Please let me go!", I cried. "Not so soon darling", came a hoarse reply. "Why are you doing this to me?", I asked him. "If I tell you that, what's the fun in it darling?", he asked with a sadistic smile. The peaceful life of Callie Brown turns into chaos when she goes missing.
