Ansel had never been so afraid in his entire life. He was a young sailor on a sinking ship. The storm was of a magnitude he had never seen before and the ship had been struck by lightning and battered by waves. It wasn't strong enough to withstand the abuse and it had begun taking on water. He didn't know where the rest of the crew was. He could hear a few shouts, but the thunder and the roar of the ocean itself was too loud to pinpoint their locations. Not that being tossed about on waves would have allowed that anyway.
His arms had grown weary and his normally chestnut hair was almost black in the midst of the storm and the saltwater that dripped from the ends. His eyes were closing and he was trying to convince himself to keep moving, to keep his head above water. But every time he got a mouth full of brine, he gave up a little more. Eventually, the waves closed over the young man's head and he began to sink.
