My cousin's son egged my son on to go swimming in the wild.
I said it was too dangerous to swim outdoors and suggested going to a swimming pool instead.
My cousin scoffed and said, "If the kids want to go, let them. I know that river. It's always packed with people, like dumplings in a pot. What could possibly be dangerous?"
Then she hung up with a sharp click.
After that, my workplace called me in unexpectedly. By the time I got back,
the whole family was in mourning.
Both children had drowned while swimming outdoors!
My cousin blamed me, claiming I'd gone out to meet my mistress and left the kids at home. They'd sneaked out to swim in the wild, which was why they drowned.
But the security footage at home clearly showed that she had taken both children out!
She stirred up trouble online and smeared me.
Parents with children joined in to cyberbully me. In the end, I was stabbed to death by a parent who had also lost a child to wild swimming and had been driven insane by grief.
When I opened my eyes again, I'd returned to the day my cousin's son wanted to go swimming in the wild.
