You didn't know where to go. What to do. You knew only that you must survive.
You ran away from the scene, somehow not traumatized by the sight. Your instincts guided you, telling you where you should go. You jumped over a piece of concrete and saw the docks, although you didn't know what docks were. All you knew was that there was water, where you must survive.

Suddenly you felt movement several feet beneath you, like something was following you. You spun around in the water, backing off as something rose upwards, as you saw the thing.
