Rescued... A Narrative by Anais

As I saw the terrifying wave coming closer my heart was pounding so fast. It's enormous hands wrapped around my body. The midday sun was rising but I didn't feel the heat. The waves grabbed me laughing as they were pulling me closer. I took a really deep breath and found myself in the water.

I shivered with fear and in seconds there was total silence. All I could hear were waves crashing and I felt frightened.

"Help!" I yelled.

I was hoping the lifeguards would see I needed them. I was so relieved. As they were getting closer I couldn't wait for them any longer. When they yanked me out, I was thrilled but at the same time I was freezing.

"Put this around you," said the lifeguard.

"Thanks," I shivered.
