Synapse

They are trying to save her and they keep reaching and reaching but she won't reach back. She is in this underwater cave and it's the darkest place she's ever been. Icy and hellish with her name carved on the walls. She was always good at holding her breath. Three people are reaching and yelling for her to resurface- the first is the one who knows all of her truths and none of her lies, the second is the one who knows her best, and the third is the boy who loves her despite everything. The first knows she won't come back up so he cries on his knees, the second is screaming that she'll drown herself too, and the boy dives down. She is now alarmed and swims further into the cave. She hasn't felt anything for 4 months and feeling alarmed makes her warm. The boy's lungs aren't made for this. She keeps trying to warn him of the monsters and he won't listen, he won't turn back, and all the same he knows he can't save her. She doesn't want to leave him behind but there is no place for him in this underwater hole, there's no light. There are ghosts in these walls and they never sleep. You never forget the sound, three knocks all equidistant and hallow.
