...a moment

its being caught in an undercurrent. it pulls you under and doesn't allow you to breathe. the water pressing on your chest and filling your lungs. and you're grappling and struggling and clawing through the water. what good does that do? you're tossed and bruised against objects you can't see, forces you can't control and a direction you never set out to take. what started out as a careful testing of the water, a gentle, relaxing and enjoyable time turned into something indescribable, but an altogether dangerous experience. if you survive the deadly current your head emerges above water for that piercing gasp of breath. lungs burning. heart pounding. body exhausted.


...im not sure what is supposed to happen next. i dont think the current is quite finished with me...
