i am trapped.

i can't escape.

i am going to die here.

i am going to die.

closing my eyes, i take a deep breath and steady my mind. at least i can see mama again.

the water is up to my waist now. i've given up struggling.

with a shaky hand, i call john. i need to hear his voice one last time.

"hey, alex!" comes his voice from south carolina. "i heard there's a hurricane up your way; you alright?"

"fine." i lie, not wanting to worry my boyfriend. "i just wanted you to know that i really, really love you, john."

"i-i love you too, but-" i wince at the confusion in his voice- "al, are you ok?"

"yes, my love, i'm fine." the water's almost at my neck. "promise. see you soon."

"y-yeah, ok. i love you."

"love you more!" i sing as the water creeps up to my chin. "i adore you with my whole heart. you are the first-" and last- "person i've loved, and i love everything about you. your freckles; your laugh; your hair."

"alex, are you ok?"

"je vous verrai de l'autre côté, john," i whisper as the water trickles into my mouth.
