Every second you lie on the floor is one more moment that you lose your breath. Your lungs close harder as you choke for oxygen. Each wiggle of the shark on top of you is a punch to your body. Each time it flops up is one small moment of hope for you to breath, but each time gravity pulls it down harder crushing your lungs and forcing them to expel all the air they have just gasped.
