icy river

The ice cracks when my feet hit the slippery surface of the river. The silence embraces me, but I keep on walking.

I must cross the river.

They are everywhere under this frozen river, where time stopped forever. Trapped, they are.

My heart is pounding fast, my blood running fast through my veins keeping me warm in this cold world.

I take another step. Ice cracks. I see the hands under the frozen river. Theyre slamming the ice. Reaching for me.

I must not be dragged down.

The warmth of the other side is all I need. I must cross the river.

The silence is torn apart by a loud crack and I feel cold hands gripping tight around my ankles.

They are dragging me down. I scream, but its muffled by the icy water entering my lungs.

Underwater. Voices everywhere. I look up. The ice on the surface has been reestalished.

I cant even see the sun anymore.

I lost.

Am lost.
