Water surrounds me.
Icy water.
I’m pulled deeper.
Waves drag me
from the shore.
I swim.
I tread water.
My head above the water,
I will survive.
Water surrounds me.
Icy water.
I’m pulled deeper.
Waves drag me
from the shore.
I swim.
I tread water.
My head above the water,
I will survive.
Hit me.
Strike me.
I won’t fall.
Soak me.
Shake me.
I won’t melt.
Sink me.
Drown me.
I’ll still be here.

Hit me.
Strike me.
I will carry on.
Soak me.
Shake me.
I will carry on.
Sink me.
Drown me.
I’ll still be here.
I’m lost,
Drowning in despair,
Falling deeper into sorrow.
I want to let go,
And sink to the bottom,
My head submerged.
With no fight left in me,
No will to go on,
The darkness will take me.
Into its arms,
I willingly go.
I’m ready to surrender
To the everlasting void.
Hit me.
Strike me.
I will carry on.
Soak me.
Shake me.
I will carry on.
Sink me.
Drown me.
I’ll still be here.
Hit me.
Strike me.
I will carry on.
Soak me.
Shake me.
I will carry on.
Sink me.
Drown me.
I’ll still be here.
It waits.
It waits for me.
Can I do it?
Will I do it?
Should I jump?
Will I jump?
The salt air.
The strong waves.
The wet breeze.
It calls to me.
My siren calls.
Goodbye to all.

I try to stand up.
I don’t want is concern.
I don’t want his pity.
I want to forget it all.
Holding me tighter, he says,
“Little one, you’re not going anywhere.
You almost drowned.
Why are you here alone?”
I stand up with my head held high.
“I was pushed.
I’m a good swimmer.
The water in the pool isn’t deep.”
“I thought you were hurt.
And why are you hanging around an empty pool?”
He gently moves wet strands of hair
Out of my face.
I still don’t trust him.
“Thanks Todd for your help,
But I’d better go inside.
It’s getting chilly.”
Todd takes off his jacket.
He wraps it around my shoulders.
With his arm around my waist,
He leads me into the hotel.
Always in control.
Always military stiff.
That’s my Todd.
Well, not my Todd.
Todd leaves me in the reception area.
He leans over and gives me a kiss.
On the lips.
He’s getting more daring.
He turns away
And walks out of the hotel
Into the dark night.
No goodbye.
And the games continue…
THE DEAD GAME
Where do the lights lead you?
Follow them and you shall see.
The hallway is long and dark.
Closed doors line the walls on either side.
Should we open one?
Let’s try this one.
There are steps leading down
to the basement.
We enter.
The door slams shut.
It’s locked.
We walk down the slippery steps.
Below, we find a pool of water.
Huge cages are falling from above.
They have sharp and pointy edges
that are trying to trap us.
They almost caught one of us.
Now circular saws are descending,
lined up in straight rows.
What do we do now?
This has been one of the many adventures
from the book, The Dead Game.
