Hold Your Breath | @mageandmutant
It had all happened so fast. The fire, explosions-- gunpowder barrels below decks. All he had was that ship and suddenly, he was thrown from it by the force of a blast, hitting the water below and instantly sinking beneath the waves.
So that was it, his ship was a goner, derbies were sinking around him, beams and wreckage, narrowly missing him. The force of him hitting the water had made him slightly delirious, instinct kicking in to hold his breath.
Another beam landed right above him, snapping Teddy out of it and causing him to try and scramble for the surface, whichever way that was. Already, he was running out of breath, his lungs were burning-- screaming, but he still struggled for the surface.
