Descended (The Red Blindfold book 4)
“An eternity later, I saw a light far above me. I wanted to reach for it but I was underwater. The light shimmered, and I knew it was the sun showing me the way to the surface. All I had to do was swim. If I could.
I’d never been a good swimmer. I was already out of breath.
I needed to breathe, now.
My head was pounding, dragging me toward the bottom. It would feel so good to close my eyes and drift, but I needed air. Somehow, I’d have to swim to the surface.
I pushed the water down with my arms..., one stroke after another, my vision getting dimmer as I got closer. I wasn’t going to make it. It was too far and I wasn’t strong enough. But the sun was getting brighter and suddenly it was there, just outside of reach.
I broke the surface.
Gulping huge lungfuls of air, I fought to keep from going under again. The water swept me past rocks and sandbars and threw me down rapids. And then, like magic, it deposited me on a sandy shore.
I lay there, eyes closed, feeling the sun blazing on my skin.MoreLess
