Gasping. I can't breathe. I tried to open my eyes but was only able to for a second. I was able to make out what I was wearing and what the floor looked like. Apparently, I was wearing bright blue pants and a pink shirt. The floor and walls around me looked like the tiles you'd find in swimming pools and everything looked blue and kept moving.
I realized what was happening. I was drowning. I didn't know how to swim very well as I was always frightened of the deep side and would never go there. In my head I wanted answer to two questions.
How did I get here? And am I going to die?
I then remembered that I was swimming alone and had accidentally gotten to the deep side. All the while I was kicking and thrashing trying to get up, trying to gt out of the water. And I guess I got the answer of the second question.
Anyway, what you're reading was something that had happened last year. When I drowned and died a year ago.
Short and straight to the point, yet effective! Maybe try to be more descriptive in the first paragraph to add extra emotion. It was there, but I would've personally liked more. 
I love the ending, it's such a plot twist. I did not expect that outcome, haha. 
Great job!
Heyo, Braiden here for a review on Review Day!
I thought this was rather interesting, and the ending made me go "What." XD Needless to say, I didn't expect that at all. Good twist.
Some pointers: you kind of have some problems with repetition (don't worry, I do sometimes as well). They are:

Hi ^^ i really enjoyed reading this! Although it was short it explained everything! I really enjoyed being able to feel what was going on.
On the other hand, i do have some things i think would help if changed.
"I wanted answer to two questions."
Try adding "an" in between wanted and answer.
Also try using italics. Show that your thoughts are your own personal thoughts.
Your details are there but are too blunt. Try using different vocabulary. Rather than describing the clothes in blunt colors use more....pizzaz. As well as describing her emotions.
"Anyway, what you're reading was something that had happened last year. When I drowned and died a year ago."
Try ommiting the anyway and don't use last year and a year ago together.
Good job and happy writing!
Hello, steampowered here with a review and to welcome you to YWS!
First of all, I like how concise this piece is. It’s a talent to be able to tell a story in only a few words, and it’s good that you don’t ramble. I especially like how you leave a lot of it up to the reader’s imagination, such as who revives the main character (if anyone does) – although maybe some additional information might be good, as there’s a bit of a jump between the character drowning and the present day. Did they actually die? Who revived them, for example, since they were swimming alone? Was it someone they didn’t expect to save them, such as a burglar or the creepy next-door-neighbour? Just a few ideas, if you wanted to expand on the story and make it more unusual.
The main thing to throw me off was actually the bit about the character not knowing how they’d got there:
Gasping. I can't breathe. I tried to open my eyes but was only able to for a second. I was able to make out what I was wearing and what the floor looked like. Apparently, I was wearing bright blue pants and a pink shirt. The floor and walls around me looked like the tiles you'd find in swimming pools and everything looked blue and kept moving.
How did I get here?
