Summary
For a second, Joy thought she had done everything perfectly and without mistakes. She's graduating, her next rotation is in the pathology lab, she's going to do an Olympic jump, and she has a date with the "handsome doctor from the 4th of July" in 3 hours. She believes she has reached the peak of her life. And for just a few happy seconds, she found herself smiling. Smiling. Smiling. And smiling. Then her feet float out of the concrete for the jump, and Joy realizes. She's going to die. The first thing she feels is the thud. The last thing she feels is the burning sensation at the back of her head. And her last rational thought is, "I really wish I had done more".
Her body reaches the pool, her back is the first part of her body to hit the water with a nasty crack that echoes throughout the gym. And Joy Kwon sinks as everyone shouts her name. Her mouth, nostrils, and ears filled with water, and she had always hated chlorine, but now it was chlorine that had dragged her into oblivion. She learned to swim at age 4, she fell off her bike at age 8 and hit her head, she lost granma when she was 19. She is 25 and she will drown. She had a date at 5 PM at a really nice restaurant downtown. She'll never get that date.

For you my body yearns;
for you my soul thirsts,
