The candles float in the water around her head.

Burning and flickering while their wax drips.

The water deep, dark, and still…

Her hair gracefully reaching out in pieces like eels.

Her head severed floating alone and peaceful.

Her blood pooling out darkening the water.

Her killer holding her body on the shore

As he watches her float away,

He walks into the water with her to send them both far away forever.
