It feels like an eternity of falling, but its only a few seconds before I hit the water.
my head spins
painful thoughts clouding my mind as my body falls in slow motion.
freezing snow and water
latch to my face
as I crash through the thin yet heavy layers of ice beneath me.
my body seizes
submerging deeper into icy depths
the body's natural instinct is to float to the surface
but all I can do is push against solid ice
trapped in yet another prison as my fists bash this frozen wall
my eyes widen
the adrenaline rushes as part of my mind thinks of this one truth
there is no coming back from this.
my voice screams
the sound muffled in the river water
air escapes my lungs and rejects the foreign
my mind drifts
memories of the past drowning
golden...
my head throbs
I can't even open my eyes
as if ice latches to my lids and freezes them in place
another impact on my skull
but somehow feels foreign
thoughts in my mind are like a barrage of bullets
and yet somehow outside from me
above
noise above the ice
can turn my head just slightly as I drift in the current
pry my eyes open to see
a light
not the moon but
moving somehow
another thud
my body winces and
tenses
my lungs have almost run out of oxygen
hands cover my mouth to hold
what's left
thud
almost erratic
frantic
my hand moves to meet with the sound above
the beating gets harder
a voice
muffled but somehow so clear
can see the ice splintering
above where I drift
my lungs are empty
can't help but take in air
pain
pain that should not be there
can't breathe
thud
thud
thud
crack.
