Cautioned about the ruthless rocks that stuck out, the furious, chilling sea excessively pushed me nearer and nearer to the coast. Frost-white foam excitedly leaped everywhere after having the midnight-blue sea unwillingly crash into the unforgiving stone.

I couldn't help it. My demise was inevitable.

Having given up, I merely floated amongst the rich, rose-red blood of my brothers that had stained the once pure ocean waters. My painful death was about to greet me and there I was: crippled by the overwhelmingly disturbing nature of the sea.

I was literally about to die - but I didn't care anymore.
