Caught, in a sea cave!
My foot wedged between rocks. The tide is talking now.
Entrance … under water.
How high will it rise? If I remained trapped … over my head.
I'm guessing there'll be air pockets.
I'm free! Water leveling off … two feet to spare.
Breathing normally ... I'm okay.
SHARK!

Please feel free to offer instructions on how to indicate pauses. I'm not sure if I'm using elipses properly. Maybe I need some dashes? :))
