Johnny's Gun 1
his situation is war, likely a major war like WWI or WWII. he was in a major battle, and during this battle he was severely injured. there was an explosion near him, it caused him major hearing loss and knocked him out. other than this his body was severely charred, mainly his arms. he imagines he is drowning for a few reasons, he was knocked out and he woke up delirious. other than that it was because of the pain the doctors were putting him through. it made him want to drown, because they were removing his left arm. he didn't want to go through the rest of his life without a left arm, so he imagined he was drowning.

Nice blog Erik. I forgot to relate his feeling of losing an arm to 'wanting' to drown, that is a good connection that you made there. The other reason I wrote about is that he lost a ring that a girl gave to him. He is also upset because the doctors should've saved his arm instead of amputate it.
