Arrival

Don't tell me, SHOW me
the air is thick with mist,
the girl is in pain, the water
is cold. Don't make me stumble.


Through a slow moving haze, a small dark figure appears to rise right out of the water. It's left side seems to be brighter than the rest, like a lighthouse warning it's guests of danger. "Is it land?" Annie wonders as she struggles to swim despite the 2 inch gash in her right shoulder. She feels her blood spilling away while her muscles grow stiff from the sting of the fridged water.

notes to self:
figure is how small? compare size to something. Describe all her senses. What does she hear? Is it night or day?
