It fell silent and the dim spot faded entirely. The heat and warmth in my chest faded.
“I shook from the cold of the water. I began to feel heavy and looked up above me. The silver light was gone. It was as if the moon disappeared. For a moment, dread gripped me. As I felt my feet hitting the stone I realize that I had to hurry back to the surface. I gathered my strength and pushed away from the rock. I shot straight up, swimming as hard and fast as I could. Praise the Lord, I made it to the sand without any issues. I had been so far from shore.
“Anyway, from that night on, I meditated on those words, but it would be some time before I understood their meaning.”
10 minutes. 150 words.
