Ears pop as the pressure builds above your head
It's quiet down here
silence surrounds you as you willingly
sink
into the darkening depths
small flashes of light you see down below
glints of teeth and scales
a flicker of a gargantuan tail
It's darker than anything else
above you light refracts into the water
the light has no eyes
it cannot see
and soon you will not see either
holding off the final breath
but you know it's inevitable
dare you?
breathe
sink
dark

Ears pop as the pressure builds above your head
It's quiet down here
silence surrounds you as you willingly
sink
into the darkening depths
small flashes of light you see down below
glints of teeth and scales
a flicker of a gargantuan tail
It's darker than anything else
above you light refracts into the water
the light has no eyes
it cannot see
and soon you will not see either
holding off the final breath
but you know it's inevitable
dare you?
breathe
sink
dark
