The chains bound to my ankles penetrate deeper and deeper into the sunken flesh of my once bare skin. My pale body radiates against the somber shadows of the abyss as it plummets weightlessly into a never ending darkness. The desperation of my quivering hands break the invisible threshold that once struggled to subdue them. My nails viciously cruise down the sides of my neck with failed efforts to find my voice. Water rapidly pours into my lungs, submerging my unconnected thoughts. I let out a muffled scream. But no one can hear me.

Helpless
The chains bound to my ankles penetrate deeper and deeper into the sunken flesh of my once bare skin. My pale body radiates against the somber shadows of the abyss as it plummets weightlessly into a never ending darkness. The desperation of my quivering hands break the invisible threshold that once struggled to subdue them. My nails viciously cruise down the sides of my neck with failed efforts to find my voice. Water rapidly pours into my lungs, submerging my unconnected thoughts. I let out a muffled scream. But no one can hear me.
