I looked up and saw a steep, black cliff behind me and another in front of me, I thought to myself, I must have fallen into an underwater canyon. I swam forward to the cliff ahead of me and felt the rock. It was smooth, like black marble.
I scanned the ocean floor and saw a blue-green light glowing from the dark cliff my hand was rested on. I kicked my feet and I shot over to the light. Once I stopped, I saw that the light was coming from inside a cave, but the cave was serrated from me because they're were bars of orange and pink coral like bars on a prison cell. I grabbed onto the coral and pulled but it wouldn't budge. I noticed a scarlet liquid floating around me and I looked to see where it was coming from when I saw my hand was scraped and cut in many places from the coral.
This time, I kicked the bars with my shoes that I don't remember putting on. When my foot connected with the coral it broke into little pieces like colorful glass. I thought about if I should go back to my family or go into the cave but I felt a strange sensation that I needed to go in so I swam into the light, not knowing what was ahead.
