The Lifeguard

A breath.  Bobbing.  My eyes gaze up at the blue sky.
A breath.  I sink.  The cold water surrounds me.
A whistle.  A splash.  Motion and waves move towards me.
A hand.  A snatch.  She grabs my body and yanks me upwards.
A breath.  The air fills my lungs.
A smile.  She looks at me.
“Hey buddy,” she says, “I got you.”  
The lifeguard swims me to the wall.
Safe.
