Drowned
Ocean“What do you think is the worst way to die?” Jiwoo suddenly asked after eating her cereal.
“What?” Matthew frowned before the extremely random question.
“I was just wondering,” she said. “Yesterday's movie left me thinking of all those deaths...”
To be honest, that was the first time he saw her deep thinking a philosophic or sentimental topic, she normally was quite insensitive, nor that she wasn't caring or something like that, she just remained quite cold on the outside.
“I don't know...” he whispered thinking. “Burned?”
She shook her head as if thinking.
“I think... drowned,” she finally said. “Drowned, because imagine the feeling of despair and impotence when not being able to breathe, to have the water around you, even to be able to open your eyes, but to be unable to breathe...”
They remained silent for a while.
“Drowned,” she repeated in a barely audible voice.
