Drowning

Gasping for air. . . you strain your neck; stretching..you look around, checking. Struggling to keep the pace. . . you're movements, fluctuating; you panic, you try floating. Screaming for help. . . no one is around, you wish for a miracle; you're wheezing, yelp not helping. Giving, no one is reaching. . . the waves starting to bring you down; you fight, your Will diminishing. Vanishing. . . your light dimming; They look from afar, will they notice you're drowning?
