Dead Ruby Lips

He held her head under the water with his blue hands wrapped around her neck, as the bubbles of freedom came up.

She had never felt so alive. All of the torment and abuse, pain and cruelty...it all just washed away... releasing into the air.

The light was the brightest shade of pink in this new surreal surrounding. The sky was purple , the birds were green, and the trees were blue. Every breath she took was of gold and stars were in her eyes as she seemed to float effortlessly.

Then she awoke with a smile on her ruby lips and opened her pale gray eyes. To find her heaven only but a dream, as she sat holding her breath waiting for the blue handed grim reaper to save her from herself.

A truly horrific tale of a life gone 'life-less' to such an extent that death is dreamt of in terms of a beautiful release.
You really put a twist in this one Barbara. A sad tale indeed.
