What does it feel like to drown?
Purple Summers thought back and spoke slowly, "Your body becomes very heavy... Water rushes in from all directions, your nose and throat burn with pain, and it feels like your lungs are about to tear apart... Lack of oxygen in the brain causes dizziness and blurred vision, and when all that pain ends, everything in front of you turns black, the whole world becomes so peaceful, as if nothing exists anymore..."
Nathaniel Summers was listening intently.
Listening to the woman before him describe the experience of death, bit by bit.
The feeling made him feel bewildered and confused, and he almost unconsciously asked her, "If you hadn't died that day, what would we be like now?"
Purple Summers was stunned, her eyes empty as she stared at him, "I don't know..."
It seemed she had never considered, if she had been safe that night on the yacht, how different the ending might have been?
