When death is coming, what is the feeling one feels at that moment? Is the feeling different when another is taking the life versus one taking of self versus life just naturally ending?

Children of the sea has my core trembling with what ifs. I could have lived this story. My ancestors definitely lived this story. This story is happening around me through the internet.

The drive for freedom , the fear of torture full of delusional narratives , the dynamic shift of a family with elitist values mixed with fight or flight sending me into tears.

Children of the sea , nothing separting you from the stars but a dingy boat that is loaded beyond capacity in hopes of a tomorrow. Loving someone so deeply that you write, knowing there will never be a reunion in this life.

Children of the sea, the thirst for power overruling sense of humanity. The lust for dominance , the greed of money leading to acts that were taught through slavery used to bring curses into fruition.

I am only one chapter into Krik Krak and all that floods me is fear. A novel that should be fiction is full of the modern-day reality of our world. The past will never leave us because we prefer to ruminate in it instead of learning from it.
