'' I've set a time for my death . 12 midnight on the 31st of August . I'll swim out to the floating dock , slit my wrists and ley my life bleed out . I'm like a prisoner on death row a self imposed cell with no bars . Perhaps I'm waiting for my own stay of execution .. I feel ok at the moment .. But later nearer the time , I'm not sure . I'll have to wait and see .''
'' It doesn't hurt at first .. Just a tug .. Like my legs in a vice . Then it hurts .. Pain like I can't imagine as I feel it rip through my flesh shaking me from side to side .. My world goes black as I'm pulled under . I try to fight , I feel it's head as big as a boulder , it feels like sandpaper as I try to push it off me .. I look up to the surface .. I see the stars and the moon .. I try to swim to the floating dock it's single light moves up and down with the waves .. I feel unbalanced as I try to .. It's then I see it ..''
I I love the sea .. I love the sounds the smell the .. I've lost count of the times I've sat alone by the sea . Lost in my thoughts of chances opportunities I've had in life and squandered .. Bad luck or just wrong choices .. Life is a game of chance .. Better to be born lucky then talented they say .. Maybe that's true .. If life is really like a box of chocolates why do I keep picking the Turkish delight . ''
