“Now, it’s going to be dark down there, and even though you won’t want to, you have to keep your eyes open to see what’s going on. It may hurt, and you may not like what you see…hell, you might not actually see anything, because it’s too damn murky. But trust me, if you look around, you will see the light…and that’s where you want to be. So, once you find it, swim like hell towards it. And I promise if you do, you’ll get to the surface and be able to breathe again.” (“Swim Towards the Light”, Michele DeMarco)*
