I was lying in the bathtub, wearing the water like a blanket. I closed my eyes and exhaled until the back of my head hit the bottom of the tub. I squirmed around and felt the quick crawl of bubbles hitting my face. There I lay still - submurged. I felt like staying there forever, falling asleep and waking up refreshed. I was jarred awake by a hand on my neck. Instant images of being drowned against my will caused me to violently thrash.
"I thought that you had died. You were just lying there," She was wet with my bathwater, almost hysterical, and vaguely embaressed for me when I tried to pull on a towel.
