You quickly take a couple of shallow breaths, take one last look up – for an instant which seems to stretch forever you even wonder at a sight of a meteor shower of lights-turned-stars-turned-light bulbs coming down all around you – then fill your lungs in with all the air they can hold and dive just when the first ones start piercing the water around you.

You dive down, but quickly realise that the things? meteors? seem to penetrate water just a short way before floating back to the surface. Concentrating on distance rather than depth, you try to swim away, but the light from above tells you that the strange downpour still continues. Your chest is hurting now but you try to push just a bit longer. Some sort of shore better materialise, and soon, you think and then absolutely have to resurface for air.

You take a quick gulp of air, then freeze, as you've spotted just what you've just wished for
