God I'm so tired I just want to rest but there's this dull pounding pain in my chest ramming against my ribs when I try to lie down and that's when I realize I'm still underwater, about to drown. So I swim to the surface and try to stay strong but I can't keep my head above water long because the waves keep pushing me back under like they follow the drumbeat of the crashing thunder. my vision goes dark and my limbs get heavy as I gasp for air but of course, just like everything, there's nothing there. So I dive down to find the anchor around my ankle, lean against it, close my eyes, and fall asleep.
