Underwater

I remember the water clearly. I remembered feeling that my lungs were going to burst. I wanted to swim up for air,but I couldn't. It pained me to know I would never see my family again, it hurt me more than the feeling to not be able to breathe . I tried and tried to grab at the teasing vine dangling off the shore, but it was out of reach. I lost hope of ever being able to breathe oxygen. As I prepared to die, something caught my eye. Something shiny lingered above me,as if it wanted me to follow. I recognized it as the sun. I blacked out, and I knew I was dying.
