Drowning

I read once in an article that what people imagine someone drowning looks like and what it actually looks like are quite different. We imagine someone shouting, flailing their arms, and splashing wildly. This is false.

When someone is drowning, their movement restricts to conserve energy. Their eyes glass over, and the turn their face to the sky in silence, bobbing at the surface of oblivion.

This is how I feel. I hope someone saves me, because being a superhero is exhausting. Save me?
