Thirst

by The Phoenix Never Dies   Dec 7, 2005


It was fun at first.
Then it all spun out of control.
Like a bad movie.
I just wanted to hide.
Disappear.
So I went back into that blue-green water.
Where no one would dare find me.
Would dare come to retrieve me.
I looked back one more time.
But the water was calling.
So close.
To where the ledge ends.
And nothing but deep, deep water remains.
And it calls to me.

    This was actually at a lake. One of those rare 50 in the world where its the lake isnt big but it is DEEP. The bottom of the lake at the sides go in about 5 feet and then it just drops of like a ledge. People like to walk on the ledges and wade into the water. But the ledges will break and people would fall into the water and get caught under the ledge and drown. Deeper beneath the water is a pocket of air and gasses. Poisonous gasses. Yup. If the lake was ever disturbed (i.e. big boulder falls in) the gasses would rise and kill everything within like a 5 mile radius. So now they're really careful about the lake and the ledges. People aren't allowed there anymore.

    But that hasn't stopped any of us.
