Dragong Quotes

“I thought a lot about death. My death.
I got used to the idea of dying.
I always imagined it’d be peaceful, with slow-motion scenes and a nice background melody… like in a movie. But I was wrong.
I was lost in the eerie quiet. It was cold and dark.
My hair floated lightly in the air. No, not in the air, but in the water.
Water surrounded me from every side. Frozen water that seemed to burn in my lungs. I was drowning and couldn’t breathe.
I tried to swim.
Desperately, I kicked my legs and waved my hands, but I wasn’t able to reach the surface.
I felt all my energies slowly leave me. It was too dark, and I was tired, but I didn’t want to give up.
I didn’t want to die.
I tried to push harder with my feet, hoping to feel something solid underneath me, but there was nothing but the fluctuating light and darkness. It swallowed me and I didn’t know what to do.
I had always been afraid of two things in my life, water and darkness, so I wondered how the hell I had ended up here.
My head was spinning due to the lack of oxygen. I kept fighting, but every cell in my body screamed to let it go. I had to breathe, so I opened my mouth and inhaled strongly. Water came into my lungs, but it had stopped hurting. I no longer felt anything when my body became numb and the darkness devoured me.”
