Overboard

Macie Pigg

You feel yourself falling. Your hands reach out and grasp for any kind of safety, but they only find air. You try to scream, but you know you have to hold your breath before...
<i>Splash</i>
The coldness of the water surrounds your body. It shocks every nerve. The air you managed to inhale just before being submerged wooshes out of you and you scramble to find the surface.
You fight, trying to figure out which way is up. Your mind is racing, trying to think of any way to save yourself.
Stop fighting and let your body relax
Continue to swim in the direction you believe is up
