Frigid water filled my ear canals, curling and nudging at my eardrums, looking for a way past.
I could barely see past the rippling waves, let alone keep my eyes open with its cold tendrils sluicing behind my eyes.
I heard nothing but the tide, the pulsing, my heartbeat, and something else.
It was muffled, refracted by the water, but strangely familiar like a lonely whale call.
Aaron used to brag that he was a lucid dreamer.
It was his fun icebreaker that he told on double dates and happy hours.
He would find himself in a strange dream world, and, after pushing at its seams, he'd realize that he was in full control of it and do whatever he wanted.
He said he could teach me how to do it.
He never did.
I think he liked knowing more than me.
I thought about him a lot as I sank, his face half-remembered and blurry in my dreaming mind, as I tried to command that noise to become clearer.
Eww.
I've heard it before.
I knew I had.
But where?
That word, of all words, the one he turned into poison, carved on my desk, my driver's side, still in healing bruises on the inside of my thighs.
Beautiful.
My chest got tight with panic, made worse by the awful pressure of all that water, sinking me down into the dark.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't resurface.
I screamed, the sound bubbling through my waterlogged eardrums, my heavy body, and I woke up in a puddle of sweat.
