The Dead Season
“He fought the current, but more important, he also fought the urge to panic. He told himself that he could survive if only he kept his head.
The current was strongest in the center of the building, and Frank reasoned that if he could work his way to a side, he'd have a better chance of escaping. It was the longer route, he knew, but the force of the waves would be less, and he'd have the wall to hang on to.
Strange, he thought as he fought the rising tide, the undertow seemed to be pulling his ...legs toward the back of the building, when it should be pulling in the direction of the doorway and out to sea.
With slow, measured strokes he gradually made his way to the side of the building.
The chilly gray water was laced with salty foam, and Frank had never felt so tired. His clothes were soaked, and the added weight only made his effort harder.
He had no idea how long it had taken, but finally Frank was up against the wall of the building and pulled himself up high enough to keep his head above water.MoreLess
