Down Under

Risa always wanted to visit Venice.
But not to swim in the tunnels.
„Follow me!“ he said.
It was dark and narrow. She tried not to hyperventilate... and not to lose Thorne.
She sobbed quietly. The walls were closing in...
Dive under the water and swim to the next opening.
When she surfaced, she was shaking. She couldn’t continue.
„Come on!“
Impossible.
„Alright. Stay here. I will come back for you.“
Alone.
Darkness, cold, wet, not enough air? Pressure. She will suffocate. Or freeze.
In the corner of her mind, a way out. Will it open before it’s too late?
