The cold harsh waves overwhelm as you are swept below. Sucked into the undertow fighting like hell to make it out. Tossed around like a rag doll with seeming no end in sight. No last breath that you strive to find. Clawing at the endless water as though you stand a chance. Only to realize, you don’t even know which way is up anymore.
Then as suddenly as it started, it stops. An eerie warmness overtakes as you realize the calmness that surrounds. Floating. Life passes before you as though it continues on with no regard. Peaceful. For a fleeting moment, nothing matters. Not even you matter.
What seems like decades are only a matter of milliseconds. You choose. I chose. You wake up to find even unconscious decisions matter. Realizing that sometimes the other choice would have been easier.
