I'm laying down on a huge boulder near the edge of a stream
I look up at the sky and wonder what's beyond the clouds
I feel comfortable here
Laying down on a huge boulder
And feeling the warmth from the sun
I lay here one a boulder to think
I like being here near the stream
Hearing the stream flow gently downstream gives me the feeling of serenity
I like hearing the water
I get this feeling I can't quite explain
It makes me feel content with my surroundings
Yet at the same time I feel like I don't belong on land
But in the water
I know it sounds weird and all that;call it insanity if you want
But it's how I feel
I hear a huge splash donwstream and look up
In a place where the stream becomes a river
I look at the spot where the water ripples
Nothing or no one is there
I lay back down on the boulder
This time listening for another splash
I wait for about five minutes just to hear it
This time I don't just get up
Instead I get up and run over to where the splash came from
I stare at the water to see what caused the splash
I don't see anything
So I sit down on the wet ground and take off my shoes
Then my socks and begin to roll up my pant legs
When I'm done I walk into the water until it's about halfway to my chest
I look into the water again and find nothing
I holler to see if anyone is nearby
Only silence answers me
I begin to turn around and walk back to shore when something grabs me by my ankle
I try and free myself by jerking my leg free but end up being pulled under
I struggle a little longer
I can't stay under water for long because my struggles are only causing me to lose my breath
And I'm going to need to surface soon
I keep fighting whatever has got me by my ankle
Trying to free myself from its grip
I'm losing air and pretty rapidly
I let out my breath and breath water into my lungs
I choke on the water coming into my lungs
Only to find more water being brought into my lungs
I begin to lose consciousness
I barely see something coming up from the deep depths of the river
Before I can get a good look at what it is
I blackout
When I wake up I find myself on the shore
I look up at the noonday sky
I try to sit up but something or someone is pushing me down
I look at whoever is trying to make me lay back down
I find myself staring at a guy about my age,maybe a little older
He looks really handsome
With his boyish looks
Really long,thick black hair
Beautiful blue eyes
His arms are filled with muscles
I look at him for a while longer
He just sits there halfway in the water and halfway on shore
I look down at where I thought I would find legs
And instead find a tail
I scream and move away from him
He looks at me with a very sad expression
I look at him for a while
His eyes are filled with a never-ending sorrow
As if he has endured years of loss
He looks at me a while longer
Then he beckons me to come closer to him
I shake my head no
He looks at me and lifts his hand up to beckon me once again
This time I don't shake my head
Slowly I get up and walk over to him
I put my hand in his
