My hands slip away from the edge, and I fall. I can't get a grip on myself, and there's no hope for gripping the cliff. I've always felt as if I've been falling forever... the pace quickens and slows, but I never stopped to catch my breath. Suddenly I am in my room... but I cannot stray from the corner. Water begins to pour down the walls, smearing my paintings and soaking the carpet. My clothes melt upon me, and slide to the ground. I'm left naked and cold in the dim corner of my room waiting to drown. My tears help the water rise as I hug my knees. The pool reaches my neck, my lips, my eyes... but I still do not stand. Even when I am completely submerged and can no longer breathe, I do not move. I let myself wither. My heartbeat slows, the light fades. My eyes close, and in the darkness... I no longer exist.1

I love the way you can turn something so personal into a description with almost dreamlike images. I really really liked this, even though its so sad. Nice work.
