Novel & Cerita Eulogy Of Dying River

The river surged around me, pulling me under, its cold embrace wrapping around my body, dragging me into its depths. I didn’t fight, I didn't know how to fight, and even if I did, I didn't want to. I let myself sink, let the current take me. The water filled my lungs, sharp and cold, but there was no panic. Only relief. The pain in my chest melted as the world grew darker, the sound of the river fading into a soft hum. I closed my eyes, my body weightless, my heart slowing down. I know I was dying and I was finally at peace at last, maybe, this was what I would have done the moment Brake told me it was over.

And that's how I became what you could distantly define as a protégé of Sentaya for the next five years. I got warm clothes and barely edible food and drink, but I had to clean up and transfer the corpses daily. With time I became desensitised to the stench and their crippled, decayed bodies. Maybe even I started to stink like them, I don’t know. I have learned that these are the corpses of those who have served their time in Oribus and are transferred further down in hell or are to be cast away. It turned out that Ortelvan River was fuelled and powered by souls, sweat, blood and tears of forsaken souls who were waiting for the judgement on further transfer within the hell. The river can bec

"We reported that to our boss but they seemed to not care at all." "Maybe sooner or later, we will lose our jobs. Even the crops were dying." "We checked on the waters and it has something unfamiliar in it." "What do you think it is?" "I don't know. It just looked like a purple thing. Maybe that's the reason why plants and animals suddenly die." "You have a point. Before... the river was so clear and used to be very clean but in recent months, it has turned purple and it looks dangerous to use the water that comes from that river."

There was no one to blame but him. _________ Day 2 River woke up early that morning. She had cried almost the entire night. Her heart was still freshly wounded. She wanted to call Erica, but she never memorized her number, only her Father’s, and for important reasons. Hours passed. She stopped for gas and food and kept riding. She was in Nebraska, close to getting to the South Dakota state line. It was all beautiful. Except for the cornfields. She realized she would never want to see another corn field in a long time.

"However, you're the reason I'm battling this deep depression!" He dashed to the bridge, peering into the churning waters below. "If you truly never cared about me, then just leave me to my fate! "I'll jump right now, because without your love, life means nothing to me!" Holly seemed torn, her inner conflict playing out right before us. Finally, she deflated, her voice barely a whisper. "I'm sorry, Jim. Charles doesn't deserve this. I need to sort things out with him first." I was not shocked by her decision.

The river had looked shallow from above the surface, but underneath it was deep, and as vast as the ocean. I was going to die. And it was all Cage's doing. His face was the last thing I remembered, I wished so desperately that I could make him pay. But I was only a weak human being and he was Cage. And I was dying. My eyes closed against the world, and the river pulled me down, to rest with it. Forever. ~x~ I splurted, throwing up a large amount of water all over myself. My eyes hurt and my chest burned.

I asked, wrapping the sheet around me as I started to get up, but Xander stopped me. "It's okay," Xander said, letting out a deep breath. "I wouldn't have woken you two, but it's important." Elias was suddenly wide awake. "What happened." Xander shook his head as tears filled his eyes. "River's dead." "What?" I asked as tears sprang to my eyes. "What happened?" Xander bit his lower lip and then released it as I rubbed his arm in comfort. "Sasha found him, killed execution style, with a note pinned to his chest that read 'You're Next'."

Saying goodbye was never one of Alice's strengths. She hated saying goodbye. It was usually her final words to somebody when she knew she never would see that person again. It was the last word she said to her mum, the last word she ever said to her old school, the last word she ever said to her dead Grandpa... Alice lay across her bed, glancing around her empty room. The only things that were left were her bed, her wardrobe and her desk. All the other furniture was loaded on the pickup trucks which Alice reckoned must be halfway across to Sheffield already.

I froze. " What is it?" Ray asked, noticing my countenance. Slowly shaking my head and whispered. " This won't work." And after pausing for a while, added " I love you." A little louder. Then I let go of Ray's hand and felt myself falling into the river, with Ray's horrified look stuck in my mind. I'm sorry Ray, I wish I could stay, but I can't. No matter how hard we try, we might never be together. Closing my eyes, I landed on a thud on the liquid wall and felt it consume me as I swallowed water. Not fighting for air or anything, I felt myself sink lower into the river as the current pulled me along. I had died... Again.

To the place where it all started and where I plan to end what they deemed to be a blessing and miracle – a second life. As I reached the familiar view my eyes first laid upon unknowingly returning to this world, I stopped in my tracks. The clear blue water still flowed beneath the large rocks it passed through. The low sound of the current still gave the kind of warning to the people who dared to see the beauty of the violent monster below the bridge. In this river, I died once. It wouldn't hurt to do it twice, right? I stood on top of the railings, aiming to jump, and closed my eyes as I felt the moment of my existence, of living.
