I was gasping for air. Swallowing large mouthfuls of salty seawater and flapping my arms about, I float helplessly in the ocean. I tried to breathe, but a huge wave towered above me and crashed against my cold body. As I flapped my arms, I kicked my legs however eventually they got tired. Slowly, I sank down but, realising what I was doing, I used the power of my arms to push me back up onto the water. I was stranded in the middle of the black sea, and all I could see were long, continuous waves of water, not the comforting view of the sandy shore. Gradually, my legs weakened and my arms, aching awfully from flapping, sank down. Tranquilly, my eyes closed and I sunk down to the sea, too late to find oxygen.
