Malcolm couldn't breathe. His lungs were burning. Water surrounded
him. He began clawing his way, desperate for air. He tried to scream,
but couldn't make a sound.

"Why me?"

Then he woke, drenched in sweat, and covered by 170 pounds of
engineer.

"Bloody hell, Trip. Get off me!" he huffed and he forcefully pushed
his partner to the other side of the bed.

"What's wrong?" Trip mumbled sleepily. "Time to get up already?"

Trip reached out, drawing Malcolm close once again.

Malcolm melted.

"No. Go back to sleep," Malcolm murmured. "Sweet dreams, love."

Maybe drowning wasn't so bad after all.
