The wind was furious. The waves had no abate. The sand was as cool as ice, if not colder.

   You calmly walked toward the onslaught of water, crashing onto the uneven surface of the beach. Smoothly brushing your flyaway hair down, the waves washed over your bare feet, barely earning a shiver.

   5 hours...

   Lighting up your phone screen, you took a mental note of the time. Soon enough you would have to go back to that dreaded place, the place you were physically forced to go, refusing to be present mentally. Five hours was too short, too close.

Losing rational thoughts, you waded deeper into the frigid ocean, drenching the hem of your skirt. What harm would a few more steps do...

   Before you could react, you lost your footing. Slipping unceremoniously, the entire of your outfit was soaked. The water was colder than you realized, and you began to go numb, starting from your toes. It slowly made its way to your legs, your fingers and torso soon following suit.

   This wouldn't be so bad... right? I mean, it is better than being dragged to that phony "support" group...

    Before you lost total feeling though, your body betrayed your thoughts. Barely crawling in the shallow depth, you had almost no idea how you were moving. You couldn't feel
any section of your body, much less process a single complete thought. But somehow, you miraculously stumbled out of the water, before collapsing on the sand.
