A/N: So, I've finally gotten hold of the laptop, that had this spectacular first chapter that's been awaiting you. Enjoy, and please excuse any typos or grammatical error's, I'm just human and I make mistakes too. Oh, and this is inspired by all author's before me who have taken on the path of the SI's. Next chapter will definitely be longer.


Chapter one- Death

I never considered it would happen this way.

Above me the sun light aluminates the surface of the ocean, and the constantly in motion water distorts the image of the sky. Various tropical fish that I have never seen before, and wouldn't know the names of, swim away from me and the other piece's of sinking debris.

Red is gradually tinting the water and my vision. Sometime earlier I had noticed the pain coming for my decapitated arm, or leg, or maybe both.

As the pressure of the water forcefully pushes the last of my breath from my body, I watch entranced as the bubbles rush toward the surface.

The fear that had first consumed me is no longer in my reach; it has escaped me. Without fear to push me to strive for survival, I know I will die. It surprises me. I mean, I knew. I knew everyone had to die at some point or another, but I just never thought it would be so… soon.

I have plans. This coming fall I'll begin Community Collage, during which I'll submit a résumé for a position at the nearby Nursing Home as a CNA. After the first two-year's I'd transfer to a University, apply for the ROTC program, and enter courses to achieve my goal in becoming a nurse. That is only the beginning. I am going to achieve the impossible from within my family.

I had plans, but it doesn't matter anymore because I'm dying.

The shrapnel impaling my abdomen has dragged me down to the depths of the ocean where there is no light. Or could it be that I have closed my eyes?
