Chapter 30:
Something's Not Right
❦
The darkness
is like oil
on the surface
of water.
Trying to break through
the skin
of the liquid
just makes it

and trickles down my throat.
I cough and cough,
gulping,
swallowing
the darkness
until
I'm full of it.
The rancid stench of rotting meat
fills my olfactory senses
and I see
through the darkness
dripping through my lashes
an apologetic
smile.
A cold thin hand
presses hard
on my forehead.
No! I'll fall! I'll drown! Stop!
