With my vision blocked, my other senses became abnormally acute. Every touch from the river god made my hair stand on end, my scalp tingling. Feeling that thing pressing closer and closer, I instinctively began to struggle, my legs thrashing. "No, don't come any closer. Please, I'm begging you, let me go."

I almost did not sleep last night. I was struggling with myself should I do something or just let everything go. I had arguments on both sides. Getting up I decided to try, I already tried doing nothing so I could try to do something.
