In The Air Tonight Meaning Drowning Novels & Stories

Can Blood Moon Hybrids even die from lack of air? I glance back at the shore, but the fog is too thick to see anything. “J-Just do it,” I mutter to myself, my teeth chattering from the cold, “For J-Jesse.” Taking another deep breath, I plunge down into the water. Moving fast, I kick my legs, trying to use my abilities to give me an edge. However, that doesn’t stop my lungs from burning from the lack of air. My chest feels like it will explode, as the desire for air has me desperate to break through the surface and just get a mouthful of it. But I hold strong, impossible as it is.

Clear blue skies flashed as Tristan opened his eyes, gasping as if he had lost air, but he could now breathe the cool, fresh breeze that brushed against his face. No clouds hid the heavens. Tristan had no clue of why he was panting, his lungs thirsting for air. Had he been dead? This must be heaven, or so it seemed. Memories from that night flashed back in his mind. He recalled Bow shoving him out of the edge of the ship, with a heavy anchor chained to his ankles. He remembered falling until he hit the waters, descending into the depths of the ocean, helpless. It was as if hell pulling him. Air slowly escaped his lungs out of his screaming mouth, then replaced by the ocean waters. Tristan wa

I couldn’t breathe, as the water filled my lungs. How could he do this to me? Why? What did I do? Before my eyes shut, the moon from above watched me drown. I held onto that glimmer of light before I slipped into unconsciousness. The cawing of a crow pulled me out of my sleep, as the soft duvet of the mattress hugged my body. My eyes flew open, and I was met by the white ceiling. The warm light from the nightstand created a shadow of a crow on the empty space, so I sat up and gasped for air.

I drowned. I look down at myself and noticed that I was sitting upright. I could see the bridge of my hometown but I don't see anyone else. I also notice the change of weather. The trees had no leaves. The grass was covered in white snow and the water below the bridge was in frozen ice. I continued to gather as much air as I could. I couldn't shake the feeling of drowning. The feeling of having all the air sucked out of my lungs. "Breathe," Aria encourages me. I took one deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

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.

It hit me that Patrick had only survived because Victoria, a strong swimmer, had pushed the plank out of his way. No wonder he made it until the rescue team arrived. As that realization dawned on me, I accidentally inhaled too much water. My body convulsed with the sharp pain, and I felt my consciousness fading before I could reach the boat. ... When I opened my eyes again, I found myself staring at the ceiling of a hospital room. A moment later, a nurse walked up to my bedside. She asked gently, "You're awake! Are you feeling any pain or discomfort?" I shook my head slowly and murmured, "Just a little dizzy."

“Choose him…” The last cluster of the two words dwelled echoing in my head as my body drops down the frozen waters. I can’t move, paralyzed yet consciously sinking to the depths of now deliquesced liquid. Drowning… I am drowning and the last breath escaped my mouth before I could take it. The ocean blue orb beams the brightest as my body descends. Before I could close my eyes, an image of the same shade appeared to like what I am currently witnessing is him and his eyes drawn across the vast azure. “General!”

~ If only tonight, If this is all I got, If I can't have your love, I won't get back up this time. If only tonight, I'll race you to the sun, before the morning comes, if I can change your mind. It's only tonight, and tomorrow you're gone, and we're just a song, singing along...~ Music blasted on the speakers. She sang along with the song, driving down the gravelly road. The wind rushed in through the open windows, blowing her auburn hair around. The road was surrounded by a thick forest on either side.

Her vision became blurry as she finally lost buoyancy, the force of the waves pulling her body into the waters. "Daciana!" Kellen screamed before diving into the waters. Axel and Alan did the same after a little hesitation, the three of them drawing in deep breaths before they dived into the water. Daciana's hands floated above her head as she sank slowly into the water. Her eyes were still partially open, but she could barely see anything, thanks to the water's darkness at night. 'Is this how I die?' she thought to herself, feeling her body get weaker and weaker.

Would sacrificing myself for the woman I love be the worst way to atone for my sins? As the oxygen in my lungs started to run its course, my mind began to wander. How long would it take for me to drown? I had no idea, but I guessed I was about to find out. But then, as I neared the murky bottom of the swamp, the water rushed around me as something solid came in contact with my stomach. Bubbles rushed from my lips toward the surface as gritty, foul-tasting liquid flooded my mouth. My lungs burned as the water hit them. I wanted to cough, but I couldn't. There was no air. Oh God, there was no air.
