It was clear then, as the rolling motion of the cabin grew more sudden and violent, that there was nothing she could do to change it. If it killed her, that was it. She was powerless to stop it. A calm came over her and she surrendered to it, closing her eyes and breathing deeply. Death couldn’t be any worse than this mode of existence.
The boat jumped and her eyes opened. No, she wanted to live.
