(Tom's PoV)
No, it was not water. It was not cold and wet. It was like I was sucked into warm sand, except I didn't feel suffocated at all. I was startled for a while but as I tried to breath, I couldn't find it difficult. Instead, it was as if I was not drowned but only being enveloped by darkness.
If only I couldn't feel the sinking motion, I would have believed that I was not drowned.
Even if I tried to open my eyes, I couldn't see anything. I didn't know where I was and the warm feeling started to increase by a notch.
Strangely, I didn't feel panic. The scalding feeling in my hands and around my ankles was gone as if it had never been there. The warmth was still comfortable for me, so I didn't really pay attention to it. Instead, I chose to clear my head and started to think of another thing.
When would I stop sinking?
Was I sinking faster?
Then, an idea popped in my mind. At this rate, I might end up at the core of the earth. Who knows?
