There were no spices in the food and no capsules downed with 6-8 ounces of water.
Nevertheless, waves crashed down upon the rocks, subconsciously and fevered.
I felt as though a metal helmet lined the rim of my head, electrocutioner style.
Movement from shocks, pulsating, but only from brain activity.
You babysit me, an adult in a child's body, but I'm ignored, feeling inadequate
Quickly I run to the bathroom and cover my nakedness with costume, suddenly
I am an adult walking along a dam or fish hatchery, troubled water to the left.
I'm afraid of it, it's dark, and I don't know what's inside.
I'm pushed into the water.
Panicking
I scramble for the side, but I reach out at nothing
Movement all around me, then, pebbles fall from the sky like rain.
Frigid and alone I barely stay above the surface. Huge spotlights turn on in the water,
Everything is revealed.
The water is deep, hundreds of feet, and I see every kind of fish swimming.
Swimming around and around: minnow, salmon, dolphin, shark, and then
The light is intermittently put out by a shadow: on/off, on/off. I see it finally.
Leviathan.
Bigger than any whale, yet it moves with surprising fluidity. I am terrified.
All at once the pebbles stop raining down, the lights go out, and I swim to the side.
