Marissa walked to the end of the dock and stuck one of her big toes into the water to test the temperature. After a few moments of debating if it would be warm enough, or cool enough she walked back to the beginning of the dock and took her t-shirt and shorts off. She slowly inhaled and exhaled while counting backwards from three.
Three.
The hair on the back of her neck was starting to stand on end, her nostrils were flaring and her knees started to shake.
Two.
Marissa bent her left knee forward a little, like a runner preparing for a sound off whistle. She looked at the end of the dock and out to the lake and she brought her chin down to chest.
One.
Marissa looked back up and then bolted down the dock and pushed her body off into the water.
Splash!
Marissa swam downward to the bottom of the lake until it felt like the water was crushing her body.
Just wait, be patient, she thought.
