My Bath in Quicksand

"Wake up, you blundering fool."
"Whoa" I said "what time is it?"
I woke up to see my best friend peering over my blanket. I realized, ITS SUNDAY, HIKING DAY! We, Pranav and I, went on free weekends and hiked on a nearby uninhabited and isolated hill. It was just near our campus's old water station which had been abandoned since it started leaking. The hill was home to wild fowl, rabbits and dogs. Dogs, I hate wild dogs. Imagine a dog growling and running at you. As we reached the hill, we realized that we had lost our path. We blindly followed an old track and later reached the old water station. First time I had seen it. It looked quiet massive. Many pipes carrying water (to where I don't know) were clearly visible running underground and leaking.
"Don't you think that this place was quiet near to the campus hostel?"
"Are you Mad?" He said "It was right in the middle of the forest surrounding the hill. It was build here so that no one could tamper with the water sources."
Just then a bloodcurdling howl was heard. It was followed by fierce barking and yapping.
We started to run at top speed. I was way ahead of Pranav. Suddenly my stomach lurched forward and the ground under my feet sank.
DROWNING IN QUICKSAND!!
Pranav saw my fate and carefully crossed the swamp and climbed a tree. 10 seconds later a massive hound appeared before us. It started growling but did not dare to advance towards me. A few minutes later, it simply left. Pranav cautiously climbed down the tree and walked up to me.
"What shall I do Now?" He shrieked .
"Just get me out"
"How ? You are right in the middle of the swamp."
"Then get help. Run as fast as you can and bring help. I can't just stay here"
He ran. Now I was alone in the middle of the swamp. Just then I remembered a technique described in "Man vs. Wild". Slowly pull yourself forward and don't struggle.
11 pm- I was free all right. All I had to do was to crawl my way out. But currently my protection against wild dogs was the swamp itself. So I stayed.
5 pm- Highly dehydrated and feeling thirsty, I looked up. All I saw was the forest floor, that too in blurriness. " Water" I shouted.
A few minutes later I heard a crackling sound. I saw that Pranav was leading a group of 5 men.
"There he is" He pointed.
The men threw a rope in my direction. Holding it, I slowly crawled my out.
On my return way, Pranav told me his story "I was running blindly when I saw some other dogs. I ran away and climbed a tree again. I found my bearings and climbed the hill. I located a road and ran towards it. I found these college students chatting in the canteen. We then located you and rescued you."
"Anyways, Did you enjoy it?"
" Are you a daft? I spend 10 hours in that swamp without water and you ask did you like it? Hey, now where are you running? Come back, you fool.
