Everything was okay.

Until the ice I was standing on

Crashed with an ominous scream.

Cold...

COLD.

I raise my arms,

I try to hold on to something-

Ice, ice!

It breaks, no, it breaks, it breaks..

 My clothes weigh a ton now.

I can’t go on anymore, I can’t take it anymore...

Slowly,

The world stops.

I sink.

Deeper and deeper...

Colder and colder...

A sharp pain in my throat.

Water fills my lungs.

One last time,

I open my eyes.

And reach for a light.
