The night was peaceful as I entered the lake, determined to end my life.
The warm water enveloped me as I sank without resistance, letting the darkness consume me.
Suddenly, something tugged at my hair with bestial force, dragging me towards the shore.
I emerged coughing, barely conscious, to find myself face to face with a hideous being: an aquatic creature with bulging eyes, slimy skin and fetid breath.
It stared at me with an empty, inhuman stare.
Then a bloodcurdling whinny erupted from its deformed mouth before it sped away with unearthly speed, leaving me alone and trembling on the shore.
Had I been saved by that thing, or did a fate far worse than death await me?
