Hidden Magic

"Sometimes the
bad things that happen
in our lives
put us directly on the path
to the best
things that will ever
happen to us "

The waters freezing. Worse then my mothers glare when my siblings and I get in trouble.

I was cold.

Probably getting hypothermia,

But I was the only one on the surface.

I kept diving back down seeing if my family would be at the surface soon.

I couldn't make it too far down until I had to come back up sputtering.

Mom, Dad, Ky, Ash....

After five times of going down, I knew,

I knew.. they're were dead.

I could hear a boat engine near. The splashes of it skipping on the water at a high spead.

Lights flashing red, and blue, lit up the darkness of the night. The light brighter as they near closer.

That's when I started screaming, at first it was just pain at knowing I've lost my family, It was crazy screams. The pain of loss, of being alone was what they held. Grief consumed my body and soul.

then my scream change to high shrilling yells "My family ! You have to help them please!" Slowly kicking in the water to stay afloat my body exhausted.

They don't listen they don't try. Instead they yell at me, asking if I'm okay, saying they're here to help me. That s its going to be okay.

They just let them die....I let them die.

It wasn't okay, I wasn't going to ever be okay again.

My parents are gone..

My brother and sister are gone...

I have no family....

I was an orphan.....

I have nobody......

I was alone..No I am ALONE!!

Sadness, grief, guilt, and loneliness barrel into me filling me up, I barely feel the hands that grab me and pull me out of the water over the side of the boat and on the deck. My body numb from the shock of losing my family or from the cold water maybe both, i'm not sure. I feel my body shaking, I think I might be crying, I don't know.

I stare at the heartless water.
