Thirst clutches your throat, but drinking the ocean water would give you no relief.(-4 hp, sd)You keep struggling, your mind totally absorbed in the effort of surviving. You won't let the elements smother you. You won't accept defeat without fighting.(-5 hp, sd)Your clothes, your uniform, are not up to the task. They rip, or entangle you, and you're forced to slip out of them, the cold waters gnawing at the heat in your bones.(-2 hp, sd)The flashes and lightnings shine over the desperate quest of a man to remain alive, as every sense of time disappears.(-6 hp, sd).Just when your body is about to give up and to slip into cold fatal unconsciousness (-1 hp, sd) you notice that the wind is getting feebler. Soon the waves aren't so high and violent anymore. As you catch your breath for long minutes, floating on calmer waters, the thread of clouds lets some wonderful, pure, warm, golden sun rays through.(1 hp left <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />)</blockquote>
