"Can't they hear my cry for help? My throat. My throat is constricted. My mouth is dry. I can't see. I hear my ravaged breathing, my racing heart, blood pounding against my temple. Everything is giving in. I'm sinking. I'm sinking. I am raising my head, head thrown back, eyes wide open. I open my mouth to scream, but no sound escapes me. Body shaking, I draw in deep breaths."
