Drip, drop, drip, drop.
I wake up in an upright position, sat in what can only be described as an embodiment of water, backside numb with a deep aching sensation of cold seeping through to my bones.
I take a look around me, almost total darkness apart from a slither of light emitting from above me.
My other senses start to kick in as I bring myself to my feet, the smell and feeling of damp smothers me as my entire outfit clings to me, droplets falling off making a distinct dripping sound.
As the panic starts to sink in I take a closer look at the only thing I can see from my current surroundings. Approximately 20 feet above me are what appear to be steel bars, the light illuminating through revealing circular drenched mossy brick walls. It almost feels like I'm trapped in a well? but I'm clearly indoors because I can't see any natural lighting at all and just pure concrete above the bars, But wait, how?
It's like I'm the star of Hannibal Lecter, I'm almost expecting a bucket to drop down from above.
I start to panic, questioning how I've ended up in such a claustrophobic hell hole.
Reaching all around me for some possible way out I start to shout for help, panic now getting the better of me and kick-starting my survival instincts. Pushing and slapping against the walls hoping for something to be trigged like a hidden passageway to open up just like in the movies.
When suddenly I hear what I can only describe as a scraping metal sound, it's coming from near my feet but before It even registers properly water starts gushing through. I drop to my knees trying to block wherever the fuck this is coming from but I can't see a thing.
Now the panic has reached a breaking point. I can't feel what I'm searching for and know that if I don't do something immediately, this room will become my underwater tomb.
My hands eventually feel a wide hole in the wall just inches away from the floor but it seems to stretch much further than my hands would be able to cover the force of the water making it impossible for me to close whatever it is causing this. I'm well and truly fucked, this is a trap that I've been placed in and it feels like I've got no way to escape.
I push myself back up on my feet and let off a primal scream, louder than I ever could imagine, my vocal cords straining under all the pressure that I'm directing from them. Water now reaching my waist height as I start bashing away at the wall hoping that I can rip something loose and start to save myself before it's too late. My efforts leading to nothing more than agonizing pain.
By this point my vocal cords are tearing, causing my voice to crack in all kinds of terrible ways as the water rises above my head and I suddenly become lift from the floor. Struggling to breathe as the water clogs up every orifice as I try my best to stay afloat I look above me, the steel bars getting bigger and bigger as I get closer and closer.
23 years of life leading up to this very tragic situation and now I'm about to go in the most horrifying way possible.
Who could I have possibly pissed off enough to be put in such a situation?!
I try once more to scream for help but I've been muted. I can't feel a thing and now I'm becoming light headed.
Eventually being lifted within reaching distance I grab onto the rusted steel bars trying with all my remaining strength to save myself, but nothing.
