Hang On!

Heavy rain poured non-stop last night but it seemed like it would stay for a while longer. When the river flow suddenly increased, it would submerge his entire body in the water for a good few seconds. When the water receded, there would be some trash left on his face and body. Yet, he could not wipe them away for he had to hold on to the rock with both his hands.

Jiang Yao looked at his eyes, she thought they looked familiar but it was impossible for her to recall who he was at that moment.

Those eyes were not shut tight, instead, they were opened ever so slightly. Perhaps exhausted, the eyelids would shut from time to time but immediately the next second they would open again.

He looked up at the sky in despair.

When the waves came crashing, he held on to the rock tightly and shut his eyes hurriedly. And when his eyes reopened after the water receded, they suddenly looked sharper, as if his will to survive just increased.
