The Hidden Treasurer

Darkness. It was all you could see, nothing more, nothing less. Where are you? Why are you here? So many questions drifted within your mind. Heart thumping loudly in your ears, just the sound of your heartbeat stressed you. You needed to calm yourself, just breathe in...and— It dawned upon you. Were you even breathing? No...you’re drowning.Head jolting around to frantically look, you weren’t sure what to look for, but you just did. Glancing above, you finally saw it; a light. Dim, pale, and far away.Instinctively, you shot for it, quickly noticing the area around you was glowing brighter. You kicked and clawed the water like a caged animal. Now you could see it, a ceiling of ripples coming closer with each desperate stroke.You reached for the glow, grasping for breath, for life. . . .
