drowning

I'm in the ocean, swimming around, when waves after waves start coming on top of me.

I move in slow motion and can't find my way to the top. It's like something is keeping me under the waves. I slowly try to swim my way up before I start losing air, but I keep paddling slower and slower. I feel my hands reach the top but before my head could make it out of the water, another wave comes down.

I finally am splashed onto the shore and lay there. A crowd has surfaced but not because of me, because of someone else. Everyone's paying attention to the other person and I just lay there on my back.

One person turns to me to check on me but someone else says, "She's fine, her eyes are open."

And then... I wake up.
