The soothing hot water rises.
My sweet baby boy dips in.
Bubbles form on the water's surface.
A warm bubble bath.
I hear him squealing.
I see him splash the water around.
"Uuu, uuu," his little voice squeaks.
Splish, splash. Splish, splash.
His toy boat journeys through the storm.
The brave rubber duck sails the waves.
Frantic waves pulsate in the water.
I watch, I study.
The bubbles have now disapated.
The water has stabilized.
Nothing but dirt in that bottomless sea.
I smile.
He's clean now.
I had no choice.
I had to drown him.
