I watched the rains fall down from above. I looked up from the deep hole I was in. An old well.
I felt the water start to rise me up. I cried tears of happiness.
"I'm in here! Someone help!"
My legs were broken from the fall, but I would reach the top soon, and clutch hold of freedom.
But as I got closer to the light... I realized something.
A metal railing was put over the top.
I tried shoving it, the water swallowing me.
I took my last breath.
Screaming in the depths of the murky dark hell.

    Well isn't it ironic that the thing designed to save you from falling into the well was what ultimately got you into deep water. They must have put that railing on pretty sharpish after you'd fallen in. Someone had it in for you.
