We braced ourselves. The worst was yet to come. With our life jackets secured and fastened, we waited as the boat sank deeper into the water. We were soon immersed in the chilly depths. The biting cold was more terrifying than anyone could have imagined. [color=Red]① Since the ice had cleared only weeks before, the frigid water numbered our bodies within minutes. [/color]The boat floated on the water’s surface briefly before disappearing into obscurity.
My parents, who were donned in floater jackets, clung desperately to each other, trying to keep their heads above water. I , on the other hand, wasn’t so fortunate. [color=Red]② A strong gust of wind blew briskly across the lake, bringing with it, torrential rain and threatening thunderstorms. [/color]The strong waves carried me off into the night. The waves continued to pound violently, forcing me underwater and gasping for air.
