Author's Notes: Crit welcome. Be as harsh as ye like.
The water is still as glass, stretching on forever. The sun beats down on the back of my neck; I swallow a grumble. I don't hear you complaining, and I have my pride. I tie off the last knot, my eyes stinging with salt water. Must've caught a splash. I stare at the empty sky, blinking hard. I work up some spit just to swallow it.
"I'm burning to a crisp, and you're going for a swim. Call that responsible?"
I watch your blue-tinged lips, but no response comes. I swallow again, clutching canvas, then give you to the sea.
