[Vereena]
Is this what death feels like? Had I befallen to the cold grappling claws of death? Void, empty, empty, and frigid in nature. No, not cold. It was searing hot, yet my body felt so numb with all the pain that it nearly seemed so cold. Freezing even. I wonder where Callum is. I know he hadn't been knocked off the yawl. I could still hear him screaming my name above the waves.
The current suddenly shifted, rolling my body along with it. My arms flailed around me lifelessly, my hair floating all about, sweeping into my face. Tilting, until I drifted along with the strong current. I hit the hard surface, tumbling into the hot surface, but it wasn't hot enough to burn me. The waves pushed me into the shallow part, washing me ashore.
I'm not dead. I don't know what miracle happened, but somehow I did not drown.
