Submarine

Dreams below

As I open my eyes I realize I'm looking up at the sky. It was such a light blue. I hadn't seen such a sky in so long. I felt that I was being swayed gently. Slowly, I sat up. I was in a boat in the middle of the ocean. It was old and I wondered how it held together. I placed my hand delicately on the yellow chipped paint and looked over the side of the boat. The ocean  was dark. And there off on the horizon was the setting sun. I was all alone in the vast sea. As I stared off into the waves I saw a shadow passing under me. Bigger than any boat or building I'd ever seen before. It twisted and snaked. I watched as it passed under the boat. I was helpless. I closed my eyes preparing for the worst.
  When nothing happened I peeked out of them and was met with a new scene I was lying in the store room on sacks of goods. My head pounded and I sat up. On the other side of the door I head the warning alarm going off. I stood and made my way to the door. The halls were filled with the glow of the red flood lights and the blaring of the alarm. Water was up to my ankles. Suddenly two hands grabbed my shoulders and I was met with the face of Matt. He was screaming something but I couldn't tell what. All I could think to ask was "Where is Miles?!" He looked at me with a blood drained face.
  "Come with me" he said taking my arm and hurriedly leading me down the halls. Suddenly the whole submarine shook.
  "What was that?!" Matt pulled me along nonetheless.
  "Come on we have to hurry!" He shouted back. We made our way around a corner and into a room I couldn't remember ever seeing. There cuffed to the wall was Miles.
  "MILES!" I ran to him and hugged him "what have they done to you? Why are you locked up?!" I held his face in my hands. He put his forehead to mine.
  "Alex,love, you have to go before it's to late" I lifted my head away.
  "What do you mean before it's to late?!" I asked trying to get answers from just looking in those eyes.
  "The ship is going down. We have to go" Matt finally spoke up from the doorway.
  "I'm not leaving him!" The water was up to our waists now. Matt came over to me and put his hand on my shoulder. I wrapped my hands around Miles "No! I'm not leaving him!" Matt looked to Miles and I could already tell what they were thinking. Suddenly Matt grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder. "Matt! Get the fuck off me! Don't fucking touch me! I'm not leaving him! Please Matt please!!" I kicked and punched but he wouldn't let me go. I looked at Miles through tear filled eyes.
  "Alex I-"
