✧ . . . the first wave felt like being hit by a twoleg monster, dragging him under without even the slightest hint of mercy. if the ocean was a beast, he was its prey. sharkjaw didn't even have the chance to scream before he was knocked off his feet, tossed like a ragdoll in the churning waters of the sea. with desperate strokes he tried to claw his way towards the surface, pure and utter terror glittering in his eyes. his lungs burned. with every breath he tried to take his mouth filled with salty water, choking him. he knew his efforts were futile, but his deep-rooted sense of self-preservation kept him going. he stared at the hazy shape of the sun above him, the promise of safety fading into a memory the deeper he was pulled into the ocean's chilly embrace. the world shifted around him as he began to spin faster and faster, trapped in a whirlpool of debris. he was vaguely aware of the sensation of another large object hitting him— possibly one of his clanmates— but he didn't have the sense to care. his muscles screamed for him to stop, and his chest ached more and more with each passing moment. white spots began to gather at the edges of his vision, a fog settling over his mind. his efforts grew weaker and weaker. he thought he was stronger than this. that one last thought flickered through his mind for a brief moment, before it too, began to fade away. and at last, he surrendered to the sea. ✧ . . . he's not dead i swear!! but um.. yeah.. this is just a little wc story i've been working on. i do want to make it a comic at some point, but i don't know if i'll have the energy to keep it up so y'all get this. i don't know if anyone will read this but i really just wrote this for fun anyway! i... don't love this but uh. whatever
