Rachel stared into the lake, the reflection she saw was not hers... She began to scream, as she felt the platform she was on tilt. A few moments later she was holding onto the edge, while half of her kicked violently in the water. Whatever she had seen, was now gone. She let herself fall into the water, and started to swim for shore. The water was icy, she thought, as she made her way onto the rocky shore. She sat watching the water. What was out there, she thought, as she threw a rock into the dark water. Stupidity or curiosity...or both.. brought her back out to where she stood before. What was there too loose, she wondered? She stood looking, this time, at her own reflection. Pinching fingers to her nose, she stepped off the platform and fell under the water. The cold turned an odd soothing warm. She looked around her, and realized she wasn't alone. She let out a scream, and water filled her lungs. Panic swept through her, the sky above her turned a hazy red. She could feel the end was near. She could feel hands grabbing at her from all direction. She surrendered to the feeling... surrendered to an end.
