Eyes closed, Shiva drifted in and out of consciousness with Sia’s name on his lips like a chant. Just when she was within his arm’s reach, he was pulled back and his head was held out of the water by his rescuer. His lungs bursting with salt water and helplessness at his failure, he wept.

  1. Maybe Sia didn't want him to succeed in drowning. So her wish came true, that's a success for him, right?

  2. Aah! His turmoil and his feeling of inadequacy has come out so well, Sulekha! Liked this a lot!

  3. Nice post. Very sad though. "Just when she was within his arm’s reach, he was pulled back" He could have been trying to rescue her or be with her for ever. In both ways he failed. Which one were you trying to portray?? Loved reading the post!!

  4. Ohh so sad….he couldn't save her? Or was she already gone to the other side and he was saved just in the nick of time..
