The cold.

A roaring soundwave, pushed before exploding air. Noise across the water-waves, flattening the sea.

The slow glug, glug, glug of freezing water filling the holds; hot cola flows into the sea.

The Cold...

I feel the cold water in my lungs, freezing inside/outside to outside/inside.

cold... cold...

"Sir? Timmy!"

"Uh...Angeline?"

No, the Major. He's still here. Behind me, like always. Holding my head above the water.

I smile. Maybe. My face is numb.

"huhuhullo, mahMajor." My teeth chatter. "buhbuh--bit cool ... uhuhout."

"Sir, the shore. We can reach it." He swims. Churning the coldcoldcold water. Pulling me forward. I look where he points. Perhaps it is only a half-mile. Perhaps. ...no.

"suhsome culcultures ... believe ... ihihin... a loalonely suhsuhshore. wuhwhere dea--death wuhwuhaits. Or... muhmaybe it's a desdes--desert."

"Artemis," I am cold... cold water/desert everywhere... "my name is Andrew."

I try to turn my head. "aahaahAndrew... wuhwuhwe ahare... nuhnuhnot... alone."

Cold Shore.
