Near Death

         We were all hanging out, my friends and I. It was a wonderful day in the summer out on the lake. We all were having a great time tubing and jumping off cliffs. We were getting close to the night so we were about to head in, but one more person wanted to go tubing for a last hurrah. So we let her go, but it started to rain. We were heading in, but the waves got rough and water kept going into the boat. Everyone didn’t know what to do, we tried to dock, but the waves kept pulling us out. The wind started to pick up, now we couldn’t see. There was a huge wave in front of us but no one saw. The wave crashed into the boat jerking everyone. I got thrown off right in the way of the motor. The motor hit my foot, but I could still swim. There were other boats around, I couldn’t see the boat I was just on. A few seconds later a wave took me under, I couldn’t breathe for over a minute. I finally was able to come up above the water. There was a boat right in front of me, the current of the water took me under just enough so then the motor skimmed my arm and leg. I come up and there are rescue groups. I finally get on the boat and they quickly come to me and I pass out. I woke up the next morning and I was in my bed with bandages around my arm and leg, and with the Tv going on about the incident. I hear the ringing in my ear, but I don’t know where I am. I look around and panic, someone comes in my room and I remembered where I was. I was at home. A couple of days later I went to school. Then after that day I never saw anyone of those friends ever again.
