Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Awakening(1)

Adam found himself sinking in the depths of the bottomless lake, a sensation of dread washing over him. Panic coursed through his veins as he realized he couldn't move; he was restrained by unyielding chains. Desperation clawed at him as he tried in vain to free himself, but the chains held him firmly in their unforgiving grip.

As the seconds ticked away, his vision blurred with the murky underwater world of the lake. Panic welled up within him, and he reflexively held his breath, knowing he needed to conserve what little air remained in his lungs.

"Damn, I'm sinking," Adam muttered to himself, his heart pounding in his chest. The cold, dark waters of the bottomless lake seemed to swallow him whole, its depths an enigmatic abyss.

His struggles intensified as he attempted to break free from the shackles that bound him, but they refused to yield, their iron grip unrelenting.
