It is relaxing, submerging myself in the warm water and feeling all of my troubles simply melting away, even if it is just for a moment.
I could really close my eyes and dream of a much happier time and place, but I would not be allowed to, not here in this place, wherever this place is.
There is not a single window in sight, connecting to the outside world, making me feel isolated as well as disconnected. Perhaps that is the point, for I could die here all alone like I have always feared that I would, and no one would ever know.
Maybe I am already publicly dead to the world and everyone, as the airplane I was on was shot down by missiles that flies faster than the eyes could see.
There was no warning whatsoever other than the explosions rocking the aircraft and the flames filling the cabin.
I remember it all well.
The burning sensation wrapping around my body as the inferno enveloped me, but once more, death didn't take me.
