Learning to Swim, Trying to Die
Don't breathe. Just don't breathe. You'll be okay, as long as you don't breathe. The water softened the sounds of anger and fear from the world above. I could feel my father's fingertips digging into the back of my head holding me under. Forcing me to learn, or die. I was nine years old and I couldn't swim. My father had enough. It wasn't alright for me to be afraid. He had to make a man out of me. He had to make me someone that didn't make him ashamed.
