Summary: There're better things to think of than death. For [livejournal.com profile] 5sentence_fics.



Struggling up from death is like Mal would think swimming up through fathoms of water is like. Can't really tell, 'cause he's done the former rather more than the latter, to be truthful, so maybe instead he should compare swimming up through fathoms of water to struggling to live. The breath comes slow like the air is thick, and your eyes are all kinda blurry, and --

And so maybe he shouldn't be thinkin' of this when he ain't dyin', 'cause it ain't an experience he's all that fond of. There're better things.
