waaay backdated. Easter night.
Jim swam, only the joy had gone out of it by now. It was dark, it was cold, and he was alone. His limbs were made of lead and they weren't moving, not like they should.
He wasn't panicking. But it was a near thing.
They'd made it to the other side, he and Doyler, like they'd planned, like Jim had hoped they would. They made it, and then they'd kissed, and then they'd had each other, out there, alone, just the two of them, naked as Adam, tangled up on the rock and sand. It had been the happiest time of Jim's life; for the first time, they were truly together.
But then everything had went wrong.
He climbed out onto the shore of the lake, wanting to just lie down, so exhausted, but he couldn't. He had to get help.
He hobbled over to the clothes he had left in the bushes, pulled them on askew, hugged Doyler's tight to his chest as he made a valiant attempt to run for help. He ended up just shivering violently and limping aimlessly.
ooc: After this obscenely long post. The gist? Doyler's still out there and needs help. Someone come on by who can help or knows someone who can.
