    Summary

    Everyday, when he wakes up, he sits by the window overlooking the lake, and stays there. Sometimes for hours. He stares, and thinks about what it would be like to plunge himself into the water. The all encompassing cold that would consume him. The overwhelming color of blue that would invade his vision. He thinks about what it would be like to drown. The way his hair would float around him in a halo, the way water would fill his lungs until he was choking, gasping for air.
    A fitting punishment for a murderer, his inner voice sneers.
    -------------------------
    A depressing modern au where James escapes his previous life and lives in an apartment in a non-spooky version of silent hill after his wife's death. Somehow, he gets a boyfriend, a daughter, and a healthier mental state because of it.
