Quote preview background for Martyn Bedford
This time he was underwater, running, feet sinking deeper and deeper into the seabed. The surface was within reach if he raised his arms, but he couldn__ get his head out of the water. He had to breathe. The compulsion to inhale was huge. But he couldn__, musn__. Still he ran, getting nowhere, each frantic step burying his feet in the wet sand until he was no longer able to lift them. Finally, with one great gulp, he opened his mouth, his lungs to the flood of seawater.
