the waves are pulling me down, pulling me farther away from shore. my head is being pulled under, but i struggle. my hands break the surface and i pull myself out, only to be pushed back down by another wave. it pushes me down... the undercurrent pushes me any and every way it pleases. i don't know which way is up or down. my feet feel something sandy, but sturdy. i make one last attempt to save myself... i push against the sand, breaking the surface a mere moment later. my head is over the surface... i find comfort there until a wave gives one final push, slamming the last bit of strength i had left...
