A Simple Man In Love

One intense look, one sweet smile and one name that rolled of her tongue like water; that was all it took for an unquestionable desire to take place in my chest. A desire for none other than my dear Aria, a woman that would later become my wife and then the mother of my child and eventually, the woman that would selfishly leave me for death. But that's where she made her first mistake... Because I wouldn't let even death take my wife away from me. I wasn't simply in love with her, I was obsessed with her, I had the need to possess her. She tried to leave me but I wouldn't let her go. And that is how my journey began. This is the story of how I, a simple man in love, travelled worlds, dimensions and even through death itself to save the woman I loved.

Chapter 22 A Childish Man

I felt my consciousness beginning to find itself but before I could open my eyes, I struggled to breathe under the weight that sat on my chest and then eventually, I snapped my eyes open and turned around, heaving as the water came rushing out of my mouth, leaving a burning sensation on the back of my throat.

Once I could breathe properly, I collapsed back on the rock and closed my eyes, taking a moment to enjoy the serene silence despite the cold air that wafted around me.

"Are you alright?" I jumped up at the sudden voice, looking around me to see nothing but the ocean and the large rock that I was sat on, stranded in the middle of the ocean.

Only one answer rang in my mind.

I'd travelled worlds.

That would explain it but... What world am I in right now?

Sitting up, I perched one of my legs up, resting my elbow on my knee as I ran a hand through my hair, closing my eyes to think of possible scenarios that could lead me to my wife.
