"Chris!!" I can hear them scream.

I dare not open my mouth as I am being dragged deeper and deeper into the murky water below. The iron grip on my ankle dragged me further and further to my certain death. I could feel the blood seeping from my leg, where the spikes of his claws had torn my flesh.

If this is what death is like. . . . Then it's odd. Because all I can think of right now is:

My best friend.

"Sam" I suddenly whisper without thought.

Dirtay, salty, and black water fills my mouth causing me to involentarily struggle for sweet air. I can't help but think of how stupid I am as I struggle for breath.

So this is death?

Death.

Death.

Dead.

Dying.

Drowning. . . .

"I love you Sam" I say out loud suddenly above water.

I can see my friends now. Danny's eyes are filled to the brim with tears he won't let fall. Salty water stained Cathy's cheeks. And Sam. My Sam.

Shock was written all over her sad and tear stained face. "I love you too" she whispers softly, nnodding her head.

I smile as Danny gently pulls ashore laid on the ground.

I could feel the Death Angel as she drew nearer and nearer.

"Goodbye everyone" I whisper, The Angel of Death so near I can feel her breath on my face.

"Goodbye, I love you, Samantha" I can feel the angel pick me up.

I am now truely and really happy, for I died with her--my true love's name on my lips. I can watch her every day from the gates of heaven hope for her to live on and be happy, and wait- for her to join me here.
