"It is as though there was a plane crash, but there are no pieces of craft around to hold on to. I'm left trying to stay afloat the waves and I can hardly survive a steady pool. All I can imagine is my dead corpse floating. There is no land in sight. Instead, empty beer cans and miscellaneous garbage from the kitchen encircle me. I start to sink, the water is freezing but it feels refreshing reminiscent of resting in the sun, salty with a soft breeze on a Mediterranean shore. My lungs feel heavy and I am so scared that I stop trying to gasp for air. I start to feel light headed from holding my breath. It's an impulse to avoid choking on the water. As though my mind enters a trance overwhelming all thought and capacity to act, I feel myself rising and tearing above the water and I rapidly ascend further and faster from the endless ocean until I wake up with what seems like a goddamn hangover. It's a horrible feeling not knowing whether I lived or died."
The plot twists and turns to conclude with an ultimatum on her life condition: to find its meaning within written memories.
