Jonah 2

One night, after smoking an herb called "The leaves of god" I dreamed of a strange building. It was like a water park, but much larger in size. Many people were there with me: Families, seniors, children ... it was a place filled with laughter and enjoyment. But it was night time and because I was worried that they would close it down soon, I tried to find the exit. The further I went through the hallways the less people came my way. It was dark outside and the only light was coming from faint yellow lights in the main hall. I jumped into one of the pools, hoping that I could hide down there and stay throughout the night. It wasn't until then that I realized I could breathe underwater.

The only person that was swimming with me was a girl at the other end of the pool. The main hall was circled by a beautiful azure basin, which had stairs on each end so you could get in and out at any place. I remember ... I was so happy... Like a dolphin in the water for the very first time. Counting bubbles rising to the surface I spent several hours hiding inside the blue warmth. She was so beautiful, but I was shy. I didn't want to hit on her and make her uncomfortable. So I just staid at my end of the pool. The water felt like a drug to me ... I think for a while I fell asleep while diving...

But then it got cold. I left the pool and went down a lit hallway, which appeared to lead towards the exit. But instead it lead me towards a balcony. I could see their shadows in the water underneath. I was afraid of them. Immediately afraid. My breathing stopped. My heart stopped. I had to jump. But I didn't want to. The lights behind me began to flicker. The girl was nowhere to be found. This was the only way.

They were so majestic and so dangerous at the same time. Flying, like harbingers of darkness. If I jumped in, would they pull me to the bottom of the pool? "Just do it", I told myself many times. And then it all happened so quickly. They jumped out of the water and flew through the air, surrounded me where I stood and pulled me into the water. It was so dark, so cold. They were eternal and I was not. And when I thought I had found solid ground underneath my feet, the earth began to move and a manta as big as the moon rose in front of me.
