#I jst wanted to write somebody getting drowned RIP

[serendipitous-girl]

his large hands wrapped around her neck, securing it like a collar. then he pushed her head down into the sink, pressing her face aganist the cool tile underwater.

it didn't take long for water to fill her lungs, running all the air within her out. she tried to scream but everything came out as bubbles, filling more water into her throat. she could feel her head swimming, all thoughts floating around until they disappeared entirely.

she tried to look at the man behind her, tried to squirm her way out of his grasp. her legs kicked and her arms flailed helplessly. her vision was dimming, darkness rimming the edges of her peripheral. surely she wouldn't die like this- surely this couldn't be the end.

the leather of his gloves rubbed her skin as he kept her underwater, her poor body being drained of her life force. finally a small thought formed into the dark of her brain, a fuzzy unfocused thing. but it was just enough.

she flopped into the tub, letting her arms fall down. she relaxed her body and stopped fighting, praying to all gods that he would think she was dead.

thankfully he did think it. he finally removed the bruising hold on her neck and stood up. she kept her eyes tightly shut, shutting her mouth and waiting for the sounds of his footsteps.

he was gone and she was alive. barely but still. she was okay.
