Word Count: 136

Your main feeling is anger. Angry that you could have stayed in Tokyo or gone home when you had arthritis. You really believed that you were going to die of old age peacefully, next to your sleeping wife. Instead the water is filling your lungs and you can't scream anymore. It's ruining your suit and the photograph inside.

Your angry because Pierce shouldn't have been the last one to kiss you goodbye, (you don't count Margaret) Lorraine was going to do that everyday as you left for work. Your angry because the last baby you held wasn't even your own.

The only sound you can hear is the water rushing everywhere. That's the last sound you'll ever hear. Your heart is slowing and you can't fucking breathe.

Your tears were only made of the ocean.

this definitely could have been fleshed out more, but I think the short, sharp way you wrote it was perfect. It's really, really painful and it definitely hits home. The last lines really good.
