The soldier moans a little, without even breathing and the little gulp of water he does inhale causes him to sputter. The eels are slipping under his arms, trying to pull them apart while the school of fish keep that wall steady. He blinks once, then again, trying to clear the warm fog from his mind but it's still so difficult.
