I surface,
panting and heaving for air.
It has been an eternity since fresh breeze has filled my lungs
they expand and contract,
burning as if on fire.
Breathing rapidly I try to get away.
My legs are kicking and my arms stroking,
but the waves keep knocking me down.
The salty water makes my tongue feel dry
I am suddenly overcome by flash of heat.
My head is thumping
like somehow my heart leaped twelve inches higher.
My eyes see hazy images
and my ears hear only static.
I know what is coming over me
and I try to fight it,
I press on.
Knowing that if I stop he will catch me.
Catch me and drag me back down under.
I spot a rock poking its top out of the water.
That rock is my only chance to get out of here alive.
I swim harder,
my arms smacking against the choppy water.
The rock is coming closer.
It is just within my grasp when
a giant mass of water covers me,
pushing me under the water.
I feel my head strikes against the rock,
the rock that was my lifeline.
My body has been paralyzed by the impact of the rock.
Forcing my eyes open I see his face just before he grabs me.
His grasp is crushing my bones.
My ribs get cracked by his hand,
forcing water into my lungs.
“It will only burn for a while”
He hisses.
“Soon you will long for the salt.
Come on, breathe it in!”
He pries opens my mouth
and presses his palm into my chest
I know this is the end.
My world goes black.
My eyes stop seeing,
my ears stop hearing,
and for a second or two,
my heart stops beating.
