The Lake.
It was night..
The full moon hung low in the blue black sky, and the stars twinkled in that heavenly curtain, as if signalling to one another.
A low mist slowly drifted across the lake as the breeze stirred the water, causing ripples to surround the rocky islands that were scattered about the vast expanse.
I should have been marvelling at the beauty of the night, instead, I was thinking about death.
I was wondering just how it would feel when I waded into that cool welcoming water. How long would it take, I pondered, until I could feel no more hurt, no more pain. Would I know anything afterwards, or would it just be silence... peace at last.
I said my silent farewell to the universe, and stepped forward to the waters edge.
A stray cloud blocked the moonlight when out of the darkness came...
