Telling a story

Disastrous journeys!
This happened 4 years ago. We went to Aktau for summer holidays, also for
wedding photoshoot of my brother. My family was with me. The first part of the
day was fine. We were in a photo session until the evening.
The disaster was in the evening when we arrived at our rented room in a resort
hotel. Outside there was a pool, and after dinner I decided to go swimming. First I
went up the stairs, sinking deeper and deeper. Suddenly my feet didn’t touch the
bottom. I wasn’t scared as I was completely confident in myself. But I was wrong
and I was sinking headlong. I misread the depth of the pool. Finally, my feet
touched the bottom and I looked up. Everything darkened in my eyes, and the
sounds that surrounded me subside. There was a loud thumping of the heart. And
the next second I was again on the shore. All wet, but wrapped in a towel. My
family was in no hurry to help me, because of they thought that I was just joking. It
never occurred to anyone that I would drown, as since childhood I loved to swim
and always swam very well.
It was the worst summer holiday of my life. After this incident I have a fear of
depth and I can't swim to this day. But in the future, I want to overcome all this and
make friends with water again. (241 words)
