Stop Swimming.

…. Just drown already. It’s fine.

Do you know what time it is?

Yea? it’s time for you to come here, have a set, and close your eyes. you look very tired.

No, I cant. I cant just sit there and do nothing.

But theres’s nothing else to do, pretty girl. Your job here is done. If you keep going Death will come, and it wont be pretty like you, pretty girl.

Shhhh, I promise it’ll be fine. Doing nothing just means you‘re doing something differently.

It’s your turn, pretty girl, come sit, put your feet up and allow someone else do the minding for awhile.
