Lucien had only just fallen asleep. The flight back to Vegas had been long and loud, and catching some Zs there would have been impossible. After tossing his bags down in the living room of his little apartment, Lucien stumbled into the bedroom, leaving a trail of clothes in his wake. Flopping face down onto the mattress, Lucien drifted off. But he couldn't breathe now, and his arms were flailing. When he opened his eyes, they stung with the rush of water that met them. He'd been dreaming of drowning, a panicked, vivid nightmare that had jolted him awake. But clearly he was still dreaming since to the best of his knowledge he hadn't fallen asleep in an expanse of water.
Coughing out the breath of water he'd nearly inhaled, Lucien struggled for a few more moments until he his body caught up with his brain and started treading water. There was land not too far away from him and he started swimming in that direction. Had his plane crashed? Had he never made it home? There was no wreckage or other people from what he could tell. Once he got to the shore, he drug himself up onto it and promptly threw up all of the water he'd swallowed getting there. His hair hung, soaking, around his face, and he could barely feel his legs or arms from their effort.
