Excerpt
I remember slipping. That feeling when you’re falling and you can’t catch your balance, your feet sliding out from under you, arms flailing but finding nothing to grab. It’s that moment of weightlessness before you hit the ground when your breath catches in your throat. When I slipped, however, I didn’t have the ground below me. My bare foot slid on the slick tile that surrounded the pool, gliding effortlessly as if the ground had been coated with oil, sending my body tumbling backwards into Alta Ladera’s most elite country club’s swimming pool.
I hit the water and for a moment everything slowed. It was as if time had been written on a piece of elastic and was stretched until every number, every minute, was pulled wide and contorted. I could see the look on Damon’s face as he lunged forward trying to catch me. I could hear my own sharp intake of breath. I could feel the rush of humid air past my skin. Then the cold water encased me, sucked me in and dragged me down. My hair swarmed out around my face. Like glowing strands of amber backlit by the moon, they spiraled into my view. I remember feeling heavy, and then my head connected with concrete. I heard the sound of my skull cracking against the sharp angle of an underwater step, and then everything went black.
Ooooh I love the descriptions. :)
