The United (The Rai Saga: The Realm of the Light Book 1)

“TJ thought of all the good things one could do in water. He thought of boating, fishing, swimming, showering, bathing, hot tubs. He thought of the water filling his lungs, being unable to reach the surface for air, being completely surrounded by one of the most dangerous, and deadly substances in the world. He started to take shallow rapid breaths. His became nauseated. His feet refused to move. He felt his knees wobble. Then he found a glimmer of hope that helped repel the despair . . .
‘This is it,’ TJ thought as he felt his legs become submerged. His world went black. He sucked what he anticipated to be his last deep breath of air and he fell into the water up to his torso, ready to accept his watery grave. His arms were now fully under water. He thought of LyAnn’s beautiful face as the water covered his face. Then, three strong and steady hands grabbed onto him, one under each shoulder and one grabbed his healthy hand. The unseen hands lifted him to his feet.”
