Redemption Of Drowning

Redemption of Drowning

Chapter 1

There was only one person who mattered to him, and that was him.

Yes, he had got married but a wife was someone to clean, cook, and pay the bills.

When things went wrong it was always someone else’s fault, and he always made sure that he made sure he found someone to blame and at the very least shouted and belittled them in front of others.

He was an aggressive and incompetent bully.

Then his wife got pregnant, at first he said she had been cheating on him, but if he was the father it was her fault because she had not been on birth control.

When he decided he was going sea fishing she asked if he'd checked the weather and informed the Coast Guard and he said he had, just to shut her up, but he hadn’t.

Now he was out and the boat's motor had packed up, he’d run out of petrol. He didn’t know who to blame because this was all on him, but he would find someone to take it out on.

He tried to call his wife but saw his phone was down to 3% power, the stupid woman hadn’t charged his phone. He would have it out with her when he got home.

He sent a text.

“Boat’s motor failed, call coastguard, weather terrible, need help to get back.”

He waited.

Hours passed and the rain was so bad that the boat was sinking, water was coming in faster than he could bail it out.

He was going to go under if the Coast Guard did not turn up. He had never learned to swim and didn’t have any life belts (they were an unnecessary expense)

§§§§§

When his wife got the text she finally had an easy way out, she switched her phone off, home life would be so much better without him.

§§§§§

The boat was going under.

If only he had been nicer to his family and workmates, somebody would have cared for him, regret finally hit him.

Whether it was just selfishness or not he didn’t know but from waiting for the coast guard he was now waiting to drown.

The boat sank and took him with it …..

He woke up in a different body. He thought he died from Drowning. He woke up in a hospital bed.

“Mr. Williams, do you remember who you are?” The doctor asked him after examining him in the hospital bed.

“My name is not William. My Name is Danny Swift.” Danny answers the doctor.

“Your family is here and they have identified you as Paul Williams.” The doctor replied.

“That cannot be right. Call them In. My Wife is in deep #$%@#!!!!!”Danny Swift responded in Paul Williams’ body.

“Who is Paul Williams? The man my wife is having an affair with and maybe the father of the child she is pregnant with? He thought.

Danny waited for almost half an hour before Paul William’s family came in.

“Paul, Thank God you are alright.” Paul's mom spoke with relief.

“Who are you, lady? My name is Danny Swift! Get out of here all of you!!! Danny shouted at the strangers in his hospital room.

Everyone left the room in confusion. They went outside the room and spoke to the doctor in charge.

“Calm down everyone this is a hospital. I think your Paul is having some sort of temporary Amnesia. You need to be patient and try not to upset him in any way.”

Danny was able to get up from his bed and go to the bathroom. He looked in the mirror after using the toilet to relieve himself. He thought something happen to his penis, it was larger than it used to be. Maybe the hospital gave him the wrong operation?

He has blond hair and Blue eyes. Did the hospital give me plastic surgery? he thought to himself.

Why would the hospital dye his black curly hair blond and strengthen it? This certainly confused him. Is he wearing contacts? He has hazel eyes it never turned blue before but light brown or green.

He used the hospital phone to try to call his wife. Her phone is still not in service. He waited an hour later and still, no one was answering his wife's phone. Danny is getting upset from all the waiting.

He has come to the conclusion he is in somebody else's body.
