Escape (Part 2)

I took a deep breath and started to roll the window down. Water began pouring in and the pressure became too strong to swim through. I exhaled as the water began filling up the truck. I swam to the back seats, where an air pocket was forming. When the pressure stabilized I took another breath and swam toward the open front window. I pulled myself through and watched as my truck slowly drifted to the bottom of the lake. Then my throat started burning and I realized I needed to hurry to the surface. My lungs were screaming for oxygen.
