Carla's Dive
The sound of wind ripping past Carla's ears barely managed to drown out the sounds of the planet bellow. She didn't want to hear it anymore. The people were so noisy. Always yelling, screaming, swearing. It didn't matter how far she went either, she could hear it all. Every last corner of the miserable planet echoed in her ears. Even with the wind fuzzing everything out, they were still there, barely audible, but still there. The air screamed as she suddenly changed direction and the ocean exploded as she plunged in.
Carla stopped and braced as the ocean came crashing down atop her filling itself back in. Everything became dark, and gradually the ocean became quite around her. The ocean whooshed gently across her body. She wasn't sure how deep she was, but she had never felt such intense pressure around her. It was nice though, having a limit. Everything had always been hers for the taking whether she wanted it or not, but down here she had to work a little just to move.
Her lungs started to burn softly for oxygen. She didn't want to leave though. No one was talking down here, she wasn't accidentally looking through buildings or sneezing trucks away. Carla began to feel light headed, but she wanted to stay here a bit longer. Stay where no one was demanding she help or trying - however futile - to hurt her.
She wasn't invincible though. She launched herself up. The ocean desperately tried to hold onto her as she opened it up behind her. With a loud crash Carla broke free of the ocean's grasp. Her ears quickly filled with voices again... something about a tsunami. Carla froze for a second and looked down at the ocean, still healing from her exit. She sighed softly, if she didn't stop it now the cries of anguish and hate would just grow louder. Next time she would have to dive a bit more carefully.
