I've drowned before.
It was in a 1.8metre pool and I was eleven years old. Ke Qun assumed I could swim and dragged me into the deepest end, tugging onto my leg really hard. I held on to my sister for dear life but she screamed and said to let go, I was dragging her down. And so I did. And the sensation's impossible, so impossible to forget...
The water's so high and I cant breathe. I'm kicking and kicking and flapping my arms, trying to thread the water. As I hit the bottom of the pool, I kick again to get to the surface but I just cant breathe in enough. Water keeps flowing into my mouth and nose and I'm choking, suffocating. And at that moment, I just thought to myself, I'm going to die.
It felt like forever.
