Drowning Above Water

This story is based off of a dream I had the other night.

PART 1

Natalie knew she's not suppose to be here, she could practically hear her mother and father yelling at her now. But she had to be here, close to the surface of the water, feeling the suns warmth on her skin. Besides this place is illegal fishing grounds, no one is ever around anyways. That's when she felt it, a sudden swoop from underneath her, the water rushing out from the holes within the net, the sounds of cars and seagulls. All these sensations struck her at once, causing her to freeze.

"No, they can't see me." Her heart pounded in her ears, Natalie, quickly thinking, began to frantically claw at the net, but it was to late.

Her eyes met with the younger boy on the boat, his mouth hanging wide open, arm stretch out, pointing directly at her. She slumped over in the net with the flailing fish, arms crossed over her chest.

"Well this is just fucking fantastic." She thought to herself.
