She disappeared. Dropping into the water that was everywhere-no sides no top no bottom- and taken so by surprise that it didn't matter that she was close to shore or that she was a good swimmer because she panicked and in her panic she swallowed water, scratching her cheek and somehow clawed her hair loose from it's ponytail and her hair spread out from her head like a multitude or tentacles thin as filaments like a sea creature jerking about wildly.
Then for a second she felt numb, and blue and liquid herself resigned to the fact that the water would overcome her and in that second she began sliding away from the present and she stopped thrashing about and relaxed and felt lile a bird caught in a draft of air rather than a girl pushed and pulled by the ocean and gave up.
"I'm drowning," she thought.
