I was waist deep in an icy body of water — dark… still… and filled with large chunks of white and blue ice I could feel the cold cutting into me I was freezing Shivering Every movement felt slow and heavy
At the edge of the water stood a large square black house No windows Just one open door — glowing with light It felt like the only way out of this place
So I waded through the water in the night searching for something… I didn’t know what
Then I heard crying
Someone calling out in distress
I saw a disturbance in the water ahead of me… It was a girl… She looked like she was drowning… I moved toward her without thinking — instinct kicked in…
When I reached her.. I noticed something strange
She was blue
Her skin… her whole body… an unnatural blue
I tried to help her toward the shore toward the light — but suddenly she changed She latched onto me Hard… she began trying to pull me out into deeper water…
She was trying to drown me
Her eyes were excited — almost joyful — as I struggled to stay afloat She was enjoying it Taking pleasure in my suffering The fight for survival became violent and desperate She wouldn’t relent
Neither would I
I fought and fought and fought
I was determined… not to let her win…
I pushed through the icy water toward the lit door of the black house as she tried again and again to drag me under Through the open doorway.. I could see people inside — just living their lives Normal Unaware Going about their day
I tried to yell to them
But I couldn’t scream loud enough
I kept trying… but my words had no weight No volume Nothing carried
I was so close to the door now — so close — and that blue bitch almost had me She was seconds from pulling me under the surface of the water
I knew I had one chance left
I reached deep inside myself I had to make it count
And I yelled one last time —
“YALL HELP ME”
I woke myself up… shouting those words out loud
Physically yelling
And suddenly… it was over
I was awake
Safe
What a relief
It was just a dream
—
very profound… very real… I laid awake in bed… thinking `’.-°
