I was on my way home from the party of the year. I was dressed up and driving across the wooden bridge over the deepest part of the river. Then suddenly, CRASH! My car was flying out over the river. Then I was in the icy cold water. Bubbles exploded from my nose and mouth. My body was so cold I couldn't move my sinking arms. The heavy black marble sized pearls around my neck felt like a chain weighing me down. My eyes open in shock took ink only darkness...and my own shadow.. cast into the sandy floor of the river by the full moon above. I watched my shadow move as I sank deeper and deeper. Nothing I could do. My thoughts drifted to the party. I wondered who, if anyone would miss the girl in the white dress and black pearls..
