As I remember it now, it was cold and I was stiff. The water had caused the sun to fade and all that was around me was darkness. Absolutely nothing in sight. My tears mixed with the salty sea, my legs now struck with rigor mortis. I couldnt feel. I couldnt see. I could think, though. I thought of the reason I was down here. The man I had risked my life for.
     It was sunny that day. The one where the streets were so caked in bodies, the streets were slippery with human fat. As I screamed out his name, I watched him fall from our house. He had seen too much.. the love of my life. The one who had taken me from beggar to noble had taken his life. As he came down, his head turned into smooth stone on the ground and as I picked it up to hold it on my lap.. it shattered into a million pieces.
      The cold water seemed to seep into my lungs as I screamed for help, agaonizing fear and pain coating my body as I searched for a way up. But there wasnt one. There was no hope. It was too black. Too.. nothingness. And just like that my hope was gone. And so was I.
