A sleeping beauty dreams her silent nightmare of a dark lake and a watery
grave.
She is awakened by a sudden noise only to find an empty room.
Drops of cold sweat drip slowly from her chin, reminding her of that
dreadful dream.
In this, she wallows in the fear of being corseted by death, grasping for
life's living breath and struggling to hold onto it.
Determined to overcome this fear, she gently lays her head back down and
dreams of nothing but swimming and splashing.
