Flash Flood!

it’s the blackness of a womb but worse, worse because you know you’ll remember this when your head pierces the surface and your lungs expand to take that first, vital breath. you’re the centre of your own universe, swirling in a cold oblivion so callous and uncaring you know, instinctively, not to put even an ounce of trust in it. trust. you trust you’re fading away, that every second you spend here - wherever here is - is a second you grow less than you were five heartbeats earlier. you grow smaller and shrink further, like your feet are gone and your tail’s been eaten and you’re just being consumed, slowly but also too fast. in a matter of moments you’ll be eyes and a nose and ears and then a brain, maybe, and then nothing.

and then you’re floating, or you think you are, and you, you -

break the surface again and cough, spluttering up lungfuls of black water, so cold all over that you can’t even tell what’s you and what’s isn’t. you’re cold and icy in the middle and there’s a buzzing in your ears and you’ll be gone so soon the stars won’t even miss you.

they catch Bas out of the corner of their periphery, swimming closer, but their eyes are slipping closed, and they want to open them again, they really do…but it’s just too hard right now.
