Falling

By Neev Aradhana Suresh

One. I am falling endlessly. 

Two. Under me is the endless sea. 

Three. I feel the air whoosh past my ears. 

Four. My nemesis smirks at my tears. 

Five. The sharks below me prepare to feast.

Six. I hit the water, the belly of the beast. 

Seven. The sharks circle ever closer. 

Eight. The nearest opens its mouth. Sinister!

Nine and Ten. It was but a dream.
