Drowning. Drowning. Drowning. I was drowning, and no one was there to save me. I coughed, the water seeping into my lungs, my vision going blank; trying to fight for whatever consciousness I had left. We were just on the boat.. Wasn't everything okay? I didn't mean to fall— or did someone push me? Where was my teddy bear?
I screamed, screamed again and again, trying to call out to someone. "Mommy, daddy!". No one could hear me. My voice was muffled, and a few thoughts were running through my head, wishing this was all just a bad dream. I just wanted my teddy bear, the soft white one with pleading eyes, the red bow around its neck that I would always tug on, that mama and papa and bubba got for me—. Please, please.. Someone save me. I just want to be with mommy, and daddy, and bubba—
I closed my eyes, losing myself to the water that was straining against my lungs, before I felt the soft, warm hands of my mothers pulling me back up. I could hear muffled screams from above and pure panic, and above all, I heard my fathers screams, but then I blacked out.
