Burning Desires! UMI Welcomes the School Year

"Death is going through your head. You might die. You brain is flooded with a review of your life. All the emotions you've ever felt are happening at once. You see your identity as a spec in the universe. Just remember,
when you get close to the water...spread your body out like a flying squirrel...
you won't hit the rock bottom and you might live..." - Survivor
