Underwater Darkness

I walk to the dock, filming something off of my iPad. "Done!" I say to myself, I just need one more clip. I look off toward the lake water. Better be careful! I lift my shoe over the dock trying to lean out a little. Oops... I fall in, iPad still in hand. Its dark, but of course my eyes are closed. My clothes make me heavy as i try to get above water. I hold a tight grip on the iPad, nerves and adrenaline are helping. My face breaks the surface of the water, gasping for air. First thing I did is plop the wet device on the dry wood. My pants and shirt are heavy, and its hard pulling myself up. I push my self up and sit, trying to catch my breath. the tears come, crying because I was scared half to death and also because I got the iPad wet. I get up grab the electronic and run back to the house. My clothes and hair dripping, I'm crying nonstop trying to regain whatever control of myself. I walk into the house, leaving wet footprints everywhere.
