THE CURRENT
I could only see the sun past the overlapping air bubbles.
I couldn't breathe.
I tried to move, but my body wouldn't let me.
The weight was so heavy, it felt like an elephant had stepped on my chest.
I could hear a strange beat in my hears.
I think it's my heart.
It's drifting away and the sun turned off.
I was helpless and forgotten with the waves.
