Something's Fishy...

I took a deep breath of the cool, late-summer air, and took a small step towards the oceans dark waters, relenting to its pull on my body. I concentrated on that feeling, the sensation that I was no longer in control of my body, at the ocean’s mercy.

At some point, I realized that I had drifted into knee-deep water, and sighed. I would never be able to escape the water’s grasp for long. I took on last breath of the fresh salty air, then lowered my body deeper into the water.

I could immediately feel the changes my body was undergoing. My toes started to go numb, despite the water’s warm temperature. The numbness slowly spread to my whole lower body, and I couldn’t keep my head above water any longer.
