There you were- Drowning. How the hell did you end up like this? It was a cloudy and rainy day, the woods having been flooded.

That would’ve stopped most, but you? Nah. You went against your better judgment, venturing out even when the water got up to your knees.

Due to the high, murky waters, you couldn’t tell where the river started, causing you to step right in. You splashed frantically, arms flailing uselessly against the currents. It was a struggle to keep your head above the water, let alone breathe.

You grasped at the weeds and grass of the banks that passed by rapidly, stopping nothing as you were hurtled through the water like a rag doll.

You suddenly felt someone grab the back of your Kimono, lifting you up from the raging currents.

You clung to your savior, coughing and sputtering.
