Water is warm to my knees,
before it begins to be colder.
Seems the water knows to
greet death with a cold grip.
                    Stone cold.
Death! I don't think so.
This wasn't any kind of plan.
I need to reconsider now.
Death? I don't think so.
                    I'm glad.
I stop. Water around my
armpits. So cold. Chicken
out. Start backpedaling
frantically. Current pulling.
                    You'll die yet.
I flounder, arms waving. At
that point in time didn't know
if I was waving for help, or
goodbye to the world.
                    Was goodbye.

AHH Jerry! Gosh this series gets deep and scary. Say it ain't true! Even metaphorically the ending gave me a chill.
Good write by the way and Good morning
