Anyone care for a swim?

In my small Volkswagen Bug like car I was traveling around a somewhat dryish looking lake. It was outside my window to my left and contained beautiful shades of blues and browns. The browns of the muddy exposed shorelines were a rich brown. The blues of the lakes water were a vibrant blue given life from the sunny days rays.

Looking back to find the road I was traveling, I could not find it. Instead I was suddenly in the water. Stalling out was my first thought as I realized the water was deepening rapidly. My next thought was I was being sucked into this lake which had a more than strong current. It was that of a river gone wild. I was going to lose my car, no question. No, I was in danger of losing my life. It had all happened that fast. The car was almost completely submerged and sinking.

The rich muddy browns of the shore were becoming dull and distant. The sky had clouded over and the previously rich blues of the water, which now had my life in its grip, had became eerily greenish. Looking to the shore there was a small area with four or five people congregating. I screamed! "HELP"! In spite of our great distance and the loud roar of the water, they heard me. But nothing they could do. Except watch me drown. I knew the current was too strong for anyone to enter. This was it. In a few moments I would be dead.

I could stay in the car and drown or get out of the car and drown. Car or current? Which one?. I chose the car.

Suddenly I was swept to the right by what must have been a counter current. Or maybe God was looking down on me. The water logged car came near shallow water and I lunged out of it, landing on my feet and starting running. Somehow I found myself on the shore. Dry shore at that. I could not look back. I could only run as fast as I could towards the people I had screamed at.

Then I woke up.
