The current was in my favor, unlike everything else about the situation. By the time I'd caught my breath, both my arms had gone completely numb.

As soon as I moved more than a quarter of my body out of the water, it became apparent just how paralyzed I was.

From my waist up I had no control. Fuck.

My spine was limp and simply staying upright to walk proved impossible.

There was no way to deny it.
