Dear diary,
I have not written anything in here since I was a small child, but I found you under my bed when I was cleaning up, so I thought maybe I should tell you about something that happened to me a while ago, maybe a month or two.
A mer...person saved me from drowning.
It came from the darkest patch of the ocean. I don't remember when he appeared, I don't remember when his hand grabbed mine and he grabbed me as my eyes drooped, tired of fighting, looking up to the fading light of the sun above me, at the ocean's darkness closing around it, making it fade away. I only remember that same light overcoming my sight, blinding me the same way I was blind when my eyes fell close and I took a deep breath of water.
I remember his eyes appearing in my sight. They were blue, and I remember them catching my attention so much that I barely noticed anything else. I remember strands of his dark hair moving gently with the wind blowing from the north, I remember shivering with cold as my lungs burned as I coughed the water out, and the vague sound of a voice coming from above me. I don't know what that was, I don't know if it was a human face I saw hovering on mine. I only know that's probably what saved me.
I was an idiot. I never was before, and it's odd how precisely that day I decided to take a dip in the ocean, to get myself under the water's skin and go look for fish to take pictures of. I was an idiot, when I didn't check my air reserve, the only thing that would keep me alive in there, except... instead of air, nothing came to me when I got to the deepest parts of that world upside down.
I only remember the moments after waking up on the beach, the eyes looking at me with... relief? I remember blinking, and the instant after I remember seeing only the sky above me. It was gone, whatever saved me had disappeared and I got up just in time to hear the sounds of crawling in the sand, and then a splash in the water. I know nothing of whoever - or whatever - saved me from drowning.
But I'm here now, sitting on the spot I woke up on before. I do not even know why, I don't even know whether I'm going to see whoever that was again. I have concluded that it came from the water. It came from the deep ocean. He must be a creature living there.
I have told nobody, after all who would believe me? But I hope it... he will come back. I want to thank him, at least. Should I bring some food? I don't know. I don't even know what he is. But I can wait, I'll wait here as long as it take for him. Should I have to sit here forever, I will. His eyes were beautiful, I want to see them again. I want to see him. Am I selfish for wishing for this? I've been racking my brain about it ever since.
The water is so quiet, today. It was quiet that day too.
I hope he knows I'm here, and that he'll come say hi! Well, that's it. It sort of feels a bit better, having written this down. But I'll keep on looking to the ocean.
