Follow the river
The flowing, grey river
With your feet
Feel the cold, smooth stones
Caress your feet
There are weeds
Up ahead
That hide the horrors within
You know not what’s in store for you
You feel the rivers bed slope downwards
The water rises above your feet
To your hips
Keep going
Till you’re submerged
Pause the scene
A 20 year old, frozen
In a river
Water, neck high
Listening to everything
The voices in his head tell him
Foolish and gullible
