This is the last of the twisties for a lit­tle bit. Have a cou­ple other ideas queued up for the next few weeks. As always, enjoy!

p.s. Every­one should feel free to use the 'High­lighter' thing if they feel the need. I'm still give it a test to see if it's worth it.

He thought back to the inci­dent as he fell to the ocean floor, the water slow­ing his decent to almost noth­ing. The other had man­aged to work their arm under under­neath him, and as he shifted his weight to move the coral he had attached to broke away caus­ing his cur­rent predicament.

On the way down he had hit another piece of coral that had been razor sharp, slic­ing off a por­tion of one arm. There had been very lit­tle blood and the pain had already began to sub­side as the wound had closed itself off fairly quickly.

As he hit bot­tom he was able to glance back the way he came and saw the other sit­ting on the top of the coral in his old spot, most likely obliv­i­ous to the events that had tran­spired. He bore no ill will toward the other, they prob­a­bly hadn't intended to knock him off the reef after all. Besides, no one could have pre­dicted it would have given way just then.

He sighed inwardly and took his bear­ings, try­ing to deter­mine the best path back to the top where he had been. Once he located the route he set his mind towards the goal and began the long trek.
