| Swim for land
But which way is London? The Avid Horizon? Port Carnelian?
|
|
Silence in the dark
The zee is wide and deep and lonely.
|
Shout for help
There is no point... but...
|
Your voice is hollow, swallowed up by the cavernous Neath.

| Jettison some weight
Heavy boots. Thick cottons. Your sky-suit was not built for swimming.
|
You fight and struggle out of some of the heavier items in the hope of improving your buoyancy. The result leaves you better able to float, but cold. So, so cold. The chattering of your teeth echoes in your skull.
| |||||||
| Give up
There is no London down here any more. There will be no rescue.
|
You let yourself go limp. Let the water into your lungs.
| |||||||
| Exhausted!
The zee embraces you...
|
|
Drowning
Water covers your eyes. It fills your lungs. The currents of the zee tug gently at first and then more forcefully. The pain of drowning gives way to a softer agony of unconsciousness. In the darkness—
In the darkness, an eye! It opens and the world is upside down. You fall to the floor of Mr Barleycorn's study, coughing up water. The gauze-wrapped figure barely looks up from a spindly instrument that resembles a driftwood harp. "Do be careful what you touch," it advises, plucking at an oily string.
 Mr Barleycorn's Belfry
