Romans & histoires Sink Me In The River At Dawn

It is like staring into the smoke gust of a backyard fire multiplied by ten thousand. I'm crawling towards the door with River still draped over me, refusing to give up my forward progress when suddenly River's weight is lifted off my shoulders. I still can't see, but he either woke up fully and stumbled out or someone pulled him out and as long as he wakes up to see tomorrow, I can die happy. Hearing that he's alright, my entire body relaxes. Spent from fighting the raging inferno, I succumb to the oxygen deprivation and everything goes black.

I did. Straight into the sea. He sinks like a stone in water, swallowed by the waves. His breath comes out in gurgles. The tides blanket his screams. I bite the inside of my cheeks. I won’t laugh. Won’t free him. Now he’s calling me Daddy, Hunter, fuck—husband. Anything to secure his life. Yeah, it won’t work. I recall a verse from Delta Rae’s ‘Bottom of the River ': ‘Before you lift him, let him drown alive.’ And vile thoughts kindle in my head. Thirty more seconds, Bunny.

I’d always thought Travis was the kind of man who never smiled, as if he’d sworn off pleasure entirely. I never would’ve guessed the other side of him was quietly horny and insecure. My first thought was that I’d opened the wrong profile. I couldn’t stop scrolling. Account ID: “DeepSeaShark” “I couldn’t help it. I’ve snuck into her bathroom a few times. If she ever finds out those panties were me, she’d call the cops, right? I don’t want her to hate me.”

It was like my voice disappeared all of a sudden. Just then, Michael got down on his knees, wrapping his hands around my neck. I couldn't move, no matter how hard I tried. The rain had poured so hard, it was starting to flood. The water rose rapidly. As Michael squeezed my neck, I stayed still, unable to save myself. My vision darkened as life slowly seeped out of me. Susan stood there, hands on her waist, looking proud and happy. Soon enough, I was underwater and barely alive, when Michael was ripped off of me in a split second. Susan ran off, and I could move my body again.

Couldn't sink. He jumped in. The water was cold. He opened his eyes, the salt stinging them red, and he saw her. A mermaid. Blue tail fin, skin lit with luminous markings, tangled in the rope and struggling. He recognized her. Not by her face. By the markings, exactly the same as the ones that had surfaced on her skin when she lay dying. He didn't say her name. He swam over, worked his fingers into the gap between the rope and her fin, and unwound it loop by loop. The rope was tight and had bitten in. His fingers were cut by the lines; blood diffused into the water, thinned quickly to a pale cloud.

Yet, he refused to falter, pushing his body through pure, unadulterated willpower. ​"Jump!" I commanded as the treeline abruptly cut off, revealing a jagged cliff dropping twenty feet into the churning, pitch-black waters of the border river. ​We threw ourselves over the edge together just as a pack of snarling, iron-jawed hounds burst from the bushes, their teeth snapping at empty air. The icy water swallowed us whole, the violent current instantly sweeping us downstream, masking our scent and carrying us away from the palace perimeter. ​By the time we dragged ourselves onto the rocky, frozen northern bank of the river hours later, dawn was beginning to bleed across the horizon. But it was

The river surged angrily, the dark waters churning as it flowed and brushed against the shore. Without hesitation, I climbed over the barricade. The rough wood creaked under my weight, almost at the verge of breaking. I fell forward, my body landing into the water with a deep splash. The icy water surged through me, making my body shiver more as I began to sink. I closed my eyes and tried not to think of anything, but my mind kept diverting towards how things should’ve been. But it left immediately as the voice of Peter settled in.

Most of the water had frozen over. There were only a few shallow cracks where the stream still sloshed over the ice and I stared blankly at those small openings.

Saka got out and walked toward the far end of the path, near the river. “What the hell is she doing?” Saka frowned as he saw Karina walking into the river. “KARINA!” he shouted. **SPLASH!** Too late. Karina was already fully submerged. “KARINA, I WON’T LET YOU DIE!” Saka screamed. Without hesitation, he dove into the river, his body plunging into the cold water. He saw Karina beneath the surface, her eyes closed.

My saviour greets me up ahead. Or rather, I greet the weightless air as I fall headlong over a cliff, the water of a river rushing up to meet me. With a scream strangled from my throat, I plummet down fast and squeeze my eyes shut against certain death. Then I am engulfed by the frigid waters, and everything goes black. So this is the cold blanket I have woken up to. ______
