IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN ALONE IN THE DARK BLUE...

Salt water gurgled in my mouth. The ocean suffocated me. Wrapped me in a dark, eternal blanket. Wrapped its silky fingers around all my limbs. It drained down my throat. My ears. My nose. My veins. My soul. My name. My being. Everything. The black water was everywhere. It was all I could think about. It was my only memory, my only purpose. Dissolve. Dissolve. My eyes were screaming with pain as I struggled to see, struggled to breathe air as I was meant to.
I awoke to a warm beach shore... As beautiful as it was, I coughed so hard that I swore my lungs would burst. The salt in my fur was making it feel stiff and bristly.
I last remember the boys on the cruise making fun of how I only ate the pickles and cheese from my casserole.
I remember a thunder shrouding jolt and the lights over head shut off. An electric blue thunderbolt from the window.
My eyes peeled open and I rolled over on to my belly, the ground warm beneath me...
Quickly noticing the sand-paper similarities, I sat up as fast as I could and stared at the sand.

How did I get here?
