there used to be an old mine near where i'm staying. it's flooded now, so all that's left is this round opening in the rock filled with water. the rock walls surrounding it are steep, and people like to climb up and jump into it. the water is dark that even though it's crystal clear, you can't see the bottom. it's just this endless black void beneath you.
well, one night a friend and i decided to jump in without bothering to check the water first. it was late, nobody else was around, and we figured it'd be fine.
we hit the water and immediately realized we'd landed in what i can only describe as tadpole soup. i am not exaggerating when i say it felt like swimming through boba tea that was 70% pearls. every stroke meant hundreds of tiny, squishy little bodies slipping between my fingers.
1/10 experience. one point awarded solely for the fact that it was, technically, an experience.
