The Cold Water Cut Through Me Like A Knife
The water was cold, so cold it sent shivers up my spine as I swallowed a big drink of it and sank into the darkness of the lake. Dirt swirled around my face, and I couldn't move, although I kept trying to swim up to the surface. I tugged and pulled at my scarf, adrenaline kicking in and fear coursing through my body. I couldn't get free! My scarf was stuck on something but the water was so dirty I couldn't see what. I squirmed and tugged with the last of my strength until I finally lapsed into darkness.
