A calm sensation hit me as I knew it hit,me lifeless, slowly going deeper and deeper.It was as if I was watching my own death.Me at first, struggling, looking towards the bright moon,Hoping it was the surface and not a metal piece of ship slowly fading away.My head began to ache and the word jump,
kept replaying over and over in my head.A strong burning feeling began to eat me,from the inside out.Starting at my stomach, and traveling up my sticky dry throat longing for air.I thought as I am watching myself die,just one more struggling push and your fears will dissipate.For a moment, I thought I was in heaven,breathing in deeply cool air from a midnight breeze, with a sea mist spraying my face.I suddenly realized it was real,I was not in heaven.
This was the life,the life of a sailors fear,and I lived it.
