A chest is floating out to sea...
You ponder what its contents be
Episode 3
You pray for food or drink, perhaps...
And hope it's not old treasure maps.
You step into the cool blue sea
To claim this floating mystery
You're moving further from the shore
Your toes can barely touch the floor
To reach the box, you'll need to swim...

Oh Johleen! I actually edited out a bit about the character getting bitten by something... looks like he was destined to be attacked by some sort of sea beastie regardless!

I'm not, but mostly the idea of rhyming "swim" with "slim" got stuck in my head and the only thing I could think of calling slim was the chance of something, and swimming out to the chest seemed the most obviously chancy proposition. :)

I feel like if your suggestion came up top here, I'd have to write something about putting the character's rowing machine skills to use.
