Douglas was drowning down in a 9 feet deep pool and these 9 feet seemed 90 to him. He was under the vicious grip of terror but still conscious to plan a strategy of bouncing back as and when he would strike against the bottom. He did the same, but failed. He was all soaked and choked. Once again he was sinking down, this time in a subconscious state. His head still reasoned him to spring upwards like a cork but the second jump was no better. Then he started another journey down but this one was quite peaceful and relaxed. It was the unconciousness which subdued and he crossed the oblivion.
