In a moment, 
🧗‍♂️ it would be 
over again and he'd 
🧗‍♂️ have to start over in the next... no, not this time. 
Grunting, 🤏 hand over hand, he scaled the 
🧗‍♂️ uneven face of 🤏 the dream cliff,  
fingers 🤏 aching with the weight of his body 
🧗‍♂️ as the first rays 🌄 of sunlight...
oh no ✋ no... 
no...  ...
... 🖐️

Far below the water's surface
he swam effortlessly, breathing
through the dream gills on 
the sides of his neck...
😮💨 here we 
go again... 
kicking 🦵 with
his powerful 🦵 legs,
frog style, 🦵 he propelled
himself towards 🦵 the
mouth of 🦵 the cave
ahead. Maybe... 🦵
this time 🦵 ... 
There!
Wait... 
What was
that 🕳️ dark...
no... please!
not... 🕳️
