She was suffocating. Drowning as wave after wave of emotion pushed her under.
Every wave felt like a punch to the gut, forcing her to cry out as she went under, again and again.
She tried to latch on to something, anything to keep her from going under, but her grip kept slipping.
She tried to focus, but she couldn't. Her mind was a maelstrom of grief, tossing her to and fro, leaving her too confused and hurt to focus on anything.
She tried one last time, a hail Mary. Focusing on her anger, her fury at being so helpless and she began to focus on the flame that burst from the embers of her anger.
The waves died down as she rose to the surface, the flames of her anger giving her clarity and allowing her to focus on what had to be done.
