The Trick Is to Stop Breathing
Dec. 8th, 2013 08:29 pmA Nightmare in Two Parts
Water filled the cell faster than Ray would have thought possible. He tried to keep calm - no way was the guy gonna let him drown.
But the water continued to rush into Ray's glass prison. Fear took hold of him. The water was enveloping him to the chin now. Ray started cursing. The water covered his mouth and nose. Ray tread water to stay above the surface, but the ceiling was already touching his head - there wasn't much space to go anywhere.
Panicking, Ray started to slam his fists against the glass screen as the water continued to rise. Soon, he was completely engulfed. He tried to hold his breath for as long as he could, but his heart was beating as if he was running 100 Mph. He stared through the watery mass and could just about make out a few people standing in front of the tank that held him captive.
Ray pressed his lips tighter together. He couldn't die like this. His heartbeat sounded unnaturally loud. He needed to breathe. He needed air. He was going to suffocate. He was going to die like this.
Air bubbles rose up as his lungs tried to get him to open his mouth. His vision was starting to flicker. On. Off. On. Off. As if someone was constantly hitting the light switch. Light, darkness. Light, darkness.
Darkness.
Darkness was welcome.
