Can Fish Drown Novels & Stories

The surface world’s air couldn’t support the Airborne method of flight; Bjorn fell like a kite without wind. When he plunged into the foaming waters, the slurpy moisture clung to his pectorals like hagfish slime. Getting caught in the most awful rain ever conceived couldn’t drown him any quicker. He sank, pressed back to the surface, gagged, and sank again. His gills pumped sludge, and a fire raged in his throat. He went down again.

My soul drifted up from a cage at the bottom of the ocean, somehow ending up near Isaac Thornton. Liam Donovan, his assistant, told Isaac, "Mr. Thornton, Mrs. Thornton's been in the ocean for a day and a night. The water's freezing; she might not make it." Isaac replied, "She's only been in the ocean for a day and a night, but my Mandy's gone forever." Liam tried again, "But the dead can't be brought back. If something happens to Mrs. Thornton..." Isaac threw a stack of papers at him.

Soon the water got to my neck. I wasn't a strong swimmer and I struggled to stay afloat the water. The currents became stronger. I knew it was only a matter of time before I drowned. At this time I was fully inside the water. I drank a lot of the water and could not breath. I struggled and fought, and soon my arms were beginning to get tired.

"Iris! Are you there?!" I waited for a moment for her to stick her head out of the water but there was no reply. The water was still, save for ripples caused by the falling water. I dove into the water immediately, landing into the water and sinking several meters deep. Slowly, I swam up to the water, in order not to take in nitrogen which was absolutely dangerous. I knew the spot where she landed and I swam as quick as my body could take me, through the cold water. I just hoped her body hadn't been washed to the part where the water current was terrible. She was going to drown.

Shit. Nevermind Kane. I’m going to die tonight. That will solve all my problems. I forget everything I know as the panic grips me. I forget the lessons Aunt Mildred taught me about how to swim out of a rip current. I forget every magic spell I’ve ever learned – not that I think I can magic my way out of this one. I flip onto my back and stare up into the night sky. Maybe, if I’m lucky, a shark will eat me and it will be over quickly. I’ve always feared drowning. But this is what I get. It’s karma coming to bite me in the ass.

But I had no desire to die; I’m not that tired, not yet. “Of course not, but just remember, Not only will your lungs scream for air as you automatically gulp down water. You will feel every part of you shut down as the pain increases. When you reach a sudden point, the pain will devour you. You want to scream, but it will only result in more water in your lungs, and slowly, you will drown.” “Thanks for that!” I muttered, scowling down at the water with newfound fear. “I didn’t plan on jumping; besides, I can swim!”

Terrified that this could lead to my demise, I cried out Leona's name, but my pleas were drowned out by the rushing water. Then, a sharp cramp coursed through my leg from the exertion, and the next moment, I was submerged. The air grew scarce, my neck constricting, and my consciousness fading. "Flop!" Just as I was about to lose consciousness, a resounding thud echoed from above the water's surface. Struggling to open my eyes underwater, I glimpsed a massive black shape hurtling towards me. I opened my mouth to scream, but instead, I swallowed a mouthful of water before succumbing to unconsciousness.

I grinned. “So with your life for nature, that’s the best you’ll do?” He shook his head and plunged deeper into the water. I tried to locate him underneath the surface but there was no trace of him anywhere. “Can he also breath underwater?” I knew it wasn’t possible but how could he be down there and not drown to death.

A scream erupted from Ember's throat and she pushed Chloe away but her cousin grabbed her by the hair when she tried to escape. “I'll kill you b*tch!” Chloe screamed back and with all the force she could muster, she pushed hard and Ember landed with a splash. Dread swelled inside her like a huge balloon as she sank to the bottom of the deep pool. Water seeped on the fabric of her heavy gown, causing her to drift down further. At that moment a memory of herself sinking into the bottom of a pool then drowning came crashing in her mind. Ember choked and water filled her nose and mouth. She closed her eyes in acceptance and surrender, realizing drowning was the worst way to die .

Miracle's POV Have you ever felt that drowning sensation? Like you were slowly sinking to the deepest part of the ocean as the water engulfs you whole. You can't breathe and it feels like someone is strangling you. I tried swimming, but it was futile. One moment you're drowning, the next thing you know, you were choking on your own sobs and drowning in your own tears. It was a dream. I knew I was dreaming, but the feeling felt too real. It was suffocating.
