Every time I think I get close to the surface something pulls me under. I'm just trying to get a little air. But I get close and all of a sudden, he's on top of me. She has a hold of my ankle and I fall back under just as I see a fizzled distortion of the sun. It was the only chance I had to make my way through the thick green. Now I see I have to go so far off the shore, so far from everyone else just to find my place. It's going to be cold and lonely, but maybe, just maybe I'll make it to the surface then.
