Again I wake up in my iron coffin, just to have saltwater rush into my lungs again, and again.  My eyes slowly give up, the visions come back--How I got into this prison in the first place, the times I was hung, beaten, burned alive.  Nothing worked.  "Witchcraft!" they all cried holding their crosses and pitchforks.  As they dragged my whiplashed body into my new permanent nightmare.  I was ready to give up a thousand times, but I can't.  Again I awake, but now I see less life around me.  No fish swimming by.  

The coral is badly damaged, like it exploded.  I'm catching glimpses as my consciousness fades once again.  I can feel vibrations, explosions.  There's something going on above me, on the surface.  I can see spiked balloon like orbs slowly sinking to the bottom close to my coffin.  "What is that thing?" I thought.  "Could it be what I'm hearing up above?"  I see more starting their descent.  "Are these more hallucinations?"  BOOM!

I wake up, "Did I drown again?  Something is different.  I don't feel chained anymore.  I don't see any iron bars in my face.  Could I have gotten out?"  I couldn't believe it.  "What are the chances that the navy would be disposing these old mines right where I was trapped?" My mind raced.  "And I didn't explode in the process!  Well maybe, but at least shape-shift back together!  NOW OFF TO FIND MY ANDY!"
