Fics like Water Under the Bridge

Walking through the city on his way home from work, John Carter somehow ends up hanging from one of the many bridges that dot the Chicago River. It’s almost December. And it's a long way to fall. Water fills his mouth. He kicks himself back up, choking on it. More screaming, from up above. Oh god. Oh god. It’s getting harder to tread water. His hands and feet are numb. His kicks are getting weaker. He can hardly keep his head above water as he wheezes in between coughs. There’s a strange buzzing in his ears. Everything is dulling. He’s supposed to cover the ER for Benton tomorrow. What is the surgeon going to think when he doesn’t show up? Everything is going gray. He can’t think. He can’t see. He can’t breathe. He can't breathe. Bad Things Happen Bingo prompt: Hanging
