Prompt 23 : Drowning

Character(s) : Draco

Word Count : 100


Some days he wakes up feeling as if he is drowning. He is, in a way. He's been pushed into the heart of a raging sea and the only thing he can do is to keep on swimming. He doesn't know what direction to move in, and at this point, it doesn't even matter what side he's on. If he stops now, both he and his parents will die. He can't help anything now, no matter how much his conscience screams at him to make amends. So some days Draco wakes up feeling as if he is drowning—drowning in sorrow.
