The sun was shining bright, it was a lovely day. She was in the water. Her body underneath the surface, only her head showed.
Arms and legs in slow-motion, waving, turning and twirling.
Suddenly the current grabbed her feet and pulled her under water. She struggled but it was no use…her body sank and she couldn’t breathe. She wanted to scream, but no one was there but the silent ocean. Water filled her nose, her ears, and her mouth. She was totally and utterly alone and desperate.
Within seconds the panic died, she no longer was.
There was only stillness. And a faint memory of a girl who loved swimming alone on a bright day.
Ten days later a body washed ashore. Death didn’t become her.
