The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 54
I stumbled across while running out from the laboratory. It was raining cats and dogs outside. The sky was gray, just like my mood.
I had no idea where I should have gone. I ran wildly in the rain and eventually returned to the seaside unconsciously.
I kneeled on the shore, pressing the ground with my shivering arms to support my upper body. The sea washed against my body. My eyes were staring at the dark sky far away, but I was not focusing on anything.
Who defined right and wrong in this world? Everything I believed was a lie!
I burst into laughter like a madwoman. But the laughter slowly turned into cries. Tears streamed down my face together with the rain. Was there a whole new world on the other side of the sea? Was I living in a dream?
Could I only get rid of this nightmare if I went to the other side of the sea?
I stood up and moved towards the sea. Step by step, closer to the deep sea. As if I was hypnotized.
The icy cold water soaked my clothes, and they slowly engulfed my waist. Suddenly a voice appeared in my mind, ‘Linda…Come back…Come back to me…’
The voice made me freeze as I stood stiff in the sea. I t was Dicken. But I did not believe he could control my mind. I desperately mustered up all the strength in me to resist it, and then I simply submerged myself into the icy cold sea. In an instant, the salty and cold seawater forced into my nostrils.
I smiled. This was probably a good way to die. Maybe it was a nightmare , and this would cause me to wake up from it…
But after a few seconds in the sea, I lifted my head out of the water instinctively. Deep down in me, I still desired to survive. I coughed uncontrollably.
