I came to rest on the soft silt, facing
up, watching the ripples slowly subside. Soon the surface was
smooth. Clear. Flawless. The gentle sway of the water soothes me.
The sunlight sparkles above, reaching down but not quite reaching my
depth. I thought I'd be scared but a calm has settled over me. It
was wrong, what happened. It wasn't fair. But I can't change that
now. I know my family won't forget me. They will search until they
find me. I only wish I could hug my mother one last time but father
will be there for her. And they will find out what happened. What
he did. They will stop him. He will not get away with this. With
my last sliver of strength I made sure of that.
