The Near Death Experience

My purple gown sagged, drench in water. The bitter taste of blood filled my mouth. I gasped hoping for oxygen but instead a big gulp of water went into my lungs, but I had too, my brain gave in and forced me into opening my mouth and gasp for the air that I didn't have. Water filled my lungs, I started to cough violently. I couldn't do anything but lay at the bottom of this pool, watching as my life slowly end. My head ached from the impact of the water. The horrific pain in my ankle pulsed up my left leg. I screamed in pain as more water plunged into my lungs. Everything started to turn black. My face lent back resting against the pool floor, I was going to die.

Before I knew it, strong hands clutched my shoulders and started to drag my lifeless body to the surface of the pool. Those hands gently placed me on the ground next to the pool and started chest compressions. My mouth flung open as I tried to draw a breath, but instead water came erupting from my mouth... right onto the person that saved my life. "Are you alright," a deep voice echoed in my ears.
