cold blankets my skin, small bubbles float up from my mouth. my eyes close, i can't tell where i am in the black sea surrounding me. my lungs burn, salty water fills my nose and mouth. i drift up from the depths, breaking the flat surface to breathe again. no life seems to exist in the ocean around me, only the light of the moon. i open my eyes to look into the cloudless night, constellations splashed across the sky.

i inhale the clean, cool air, and push myself underwater again.
