He loved nature. He loved the serenity of it. Loved how it brought peace to someone. So why did it have to torment him so? Here he stood, next to a river. Damn that water. No. Not the water, damn the bastard who tried to drown him when he was 6. Almost 10 years later he still couldn't swim. That very much embarrassed him. He wouldn't let anyone find out about it. But risking going into the water...while it was still cold? That was so stupid of him right? But he was desperate. He needed to swim. What if someone else saw him unable to do it!? Oh if he wasn't mocked enough already this would help it to never die!
He kicked his shoes off and rolled his pant legs up a little, he moved and hovered one foot over the water before yanking it back. Why?...Why!? He was trying to learn so HARD! Yet something kept holding him back. Maybe it was the memory of someone trying to drawn him. In his own POOL!
He remembered clearly. His lungs filling with the airless water. The distress he felt when he the person continue to hold him under. The screaming, the fighting. God it was so fresh in his mind...as if it had just happened.
He shook his head so he was brought back out of his stupor. He didn't realize how much he was shaking till now. Had it been that bad? He shook his head and focused on his surroundings. He took another step forward then jumped and screamed loudly when some...animals? Yeah animals. Jumped and scared him like hell, causing him to fall inside the water of the river, causing him to freak even worse.
"Oh god!" He yelled he seemed to have difficulty getting out of the water.
