Warning this might me upsetting for some people. Some blunt and brutal context and it is a sad topic but I wanted to write this because I heard about it and really wanted to do something to help.
I swam away. I had to. I had to get out of this place. I had to. I couldn't. I swam as far as I could but the big net came before I was ready. I stopped violently, millimetres away from being tangled in the notorious death-trap. Some days, when it was bad, i debated swimming into the net and dying a peaceful death, of my own accord but I knew that would make their job easier so I never did. I swam alongside it, as I did whenever I heard news like this, looking desperately for any means of escape. I didn't want to be next. Every time I thought about it fear struck through my heart, it was a crushing fear. My breaths got stuck and my heart pounded so hard I swear it was about to burst. Tears pricked in my eyes but were immediately swept away by the water. That was one thing I was thankful for. I could cry for days, and i did, and those monsters would never see me break. I loathed them with every fibre of my being. I hated them with a passion that completely consumed me. They took my family and my friends and butchered them for their meat and they made sure that they suffered when they died. They taunted us with their murderous eyes. I wanted to spit in their faces. I wanted to scream at them until they cowered beneath me like they made us do every single day. And then I would remember the latest victim. I would remember how innocent they were and my heart would yearn for them to come back to me. Today was the worst day today they my wife and my baby. She was pregnant, that's why they took her because she looker meatier than usual. I had nothing left now. No family and no purpose. I felt empty. Today, for the first time, I begged for it to be me next.
