Susan and Ben stand by the pond gazing into the mystery of what it holds. As they intentionally focus in, they feel a pull so strong that it’s as if they might be sucked in never to be seen again. How can something so far fetched seem to be so real. As they gaze into its reaches it seems to be opening up to reveal it’s secrets. Why them, why now, why not? They begin to wade in with a caution that rivals walking thru a mine field. The power is overwhelming, the lure has called, and it’s time to swim.
As they begin to get deeper they realize they either have to swim or drown. They start thrashing around fighting for their lives as if they will drown in the undertow of existence. The turbulence is overpowering, they cling onto each other for dear life, but the monster is too strong. They begin to scream for help. They finally take their last breath, then there's a tug, their hearts begin to grab hold to something, someone, whatever it is they feel safe.
