Can Fish Drown Novels & Stories

Ahh maybe he's just playing with me. I laugh it off and go towards the pool back of our house. Thinking of taking a dip I jump in the water. I went in deep holding my breath, and relaxed knowing that this time was limited. It is really peaceful. Suddenly I'm pulled out of the water. What the? "Are you crazy? Now you go to the limit of actually drowning yourself?" Blake shouted. Wait, Blake? "You- here? Wait. Drowning?" I ask, confused. "Yes. Drowning. When a person struggles to breath and is suffering, having a near death experience. That's called Drowning!" He replied. Now that I notice he is drenched in water.

I was drowning, and although I knew how to swim, I couldn’t save myself. I couldn’t. I just felt myself drown and die.

I clung to it, holding on despite the pull of the current on me. My hands slipped and burned as I was ripped away and whirled around underwater. My lungs burned as I tried to fight the current. I couldn’t breathe. If I breathed in, I was going to drown. I had to get to the surface. I tried to grab onto something nearby, but my fingers slipped off the surfaces as I was carried further away from the pier and further down into the water.

He made a gesture to the men who all began to pick up gallons of water. "Seb please don't do this... Seb! Urgh!!!" Amidst her please, the men ruthlessly threw the water over her face, as she thrashed and gurgled up the water into her lungs. Unlike being drowned in open waters, this form of drowning was the harshest, in an open water one would have the option to hold their breath as long as they could until their lungs gave out, however, in this form of drowning, one would have no choice but to gurgle up the water from both their mouth and their nose since their heads would be forcefully thrown back and the water would fall directly on their face leaving one with no choice but to struggle and

However, the onlookers, disgusted by her previous actions, simply stood by the poolside with their arms crossed, watching the spectacle unfold. Cough, cough... "Help... help me... cough... I can’t swim... ugh… save me…!" Fear and dread gripped her heart mercilessly. She flailed her arms, sobbing uncontrollably, while the looming threat of death pressed down on her. A suffocating sensation wrapped around her throat as if it were being choked. She struggled frantically, but her body soon sank beneath the water’s surface, unable to rise again. "Enough! You’ve had your fun watching. Get her out of there before she drowns!"

Juliana's pov: I was drowning as I found myself trapped underwater, the water was twirling around me and I felt suffocation by the immersion of water. The water fills my mouth causing the nose to cut off the supply of my body's supply of oxygen. I struggle to stay conscious to avoid giving up the remaining tidal air in my lungs. Struggling to breath-hold I felt a loud bang at my heart, the more I battled to breathe I felt a painful sensation in my heart. My heart aches as the water enters my lungs.

I prayed that this gamble would buy me a second chance. Debris floated everywhere in the murky floodwater, dangerous objects drifting aimlessly, just waiting to injure anyone in their path. I was lucky—every time something rushed toward me, I managed to dodge at the last second. However, a wooden plank came barreling through the current, cutting through the water like a weapon aimed straight at me. My instincts kicked in, and I dove beneath the surface, holding my breath just in time to avoid the impact. I remembered that there had been a long gash on Victoria's arm when they recovered her body. It hit me that Patrick had only survived because Victoria, a strong swimmer, had pushed the plank

My chest burns from lack of air and I watch as I sink further, grass twisted around my ankles keeping me down. What a great way to die. Drowning. Finally a death I deserved.

But my panicked brain does not register logic in that moment. I struggle. Try to remember the swimming tips Kay has taught me. But the cold distracts me. The chlorine stings my eyes. I can’t see anything but blurry light above. My tight uniform is making movement difficult. It’s probably only been seconds. But my fear draws it out into so much longer. ‘Water, why did it have to be water…’ I would have rather hit the concrete. Risked broken bones or possible concussion. Anything but the pool. Drowning is my next biggest fear. For good reason. I’d never gotten over my fear of drowning after….

The water filled my nose and mouth, making me choke and gasp. I kicked my legs and moved my arms, fighting to stay afloat. But the water was too deep and I was getting tired fast. My lungs burned as I struggled to hold my breath. I was drowning in this dark, endless water. “No, no, no,” I thought desperately. “I can’t die here. I have to get back. I have to live.” But my strength was fading. The water pulled me down deeper and deeper. My chest felt like it was going to explode from holding my breath. Dark spots appeared in my vision, even though everything was already black.
