SPLASH!
I went under before I could take another breath.
The wall slipped away from my hand, and the light above me disappeared as something pulled me deeper.
Everything went quiet.
'Uhkh!'
Only a dull pressure against my ears as bubbles escaped past my lips. My hand immediately moved towards the mouthpiece hanging beneath my chin.
Before I could reach it, something caught the hose.
My harness tightened across my chest.
Then a sharp tug pulled me sideways.
"….!?"
Bubbles rushed past my shoulder.
I caught the mouthpiece and brought it closer, only to stop when I saw the torn end of the hose floating in front of me.
'Right.'
That was no longer useful.
I let it go and looked down.
The light on my harness caught my knee, then part of my other leg. Beyond that, there was nothing.
I couldn't even see the thing holding my ankle.
But I could feel it.
Fingers.
Long enough that they seemed to overlap as they tightened around my leg.
