Fear
I can feel the taste of water going down my throat.
I'm trying not to freak out.
I'm tiny compared to this ocean.
I feel it pulling me in even deeper.
I can't breath!
My life is flashing before my eyes. I can see my family escaping my mind.
I'm struggeling, I keep trying, but I keep losing the light.
trying to open my eyes, all I can see is a big blur.
I'm trying to reach the top to breath.
I can't, I feel the saltiness of the ocean go down my throat.
I keep choking which just makes me drink more water.
Maybe I should stop!
I should just give up!
the struggle
All I see is blurriness and is getting worst by the seconds, I can hear the silence.
That's all I have.
I feel something touching my hand and suddently pulling it. I see the light.
the surface.
I'm trying to smile, but I'm cold, I'm shaking.
I start coughing water, water and even more water.
I try to open my eyes, but I can't.
