The bathroom is dark, old, and huge. It has high ceilings with blue steel lockers and steel shower walls and doors. I’m the last one to take a shower, its a large shower and it feels wonderful.

When I’m done my shower and change I leave the bathroom to see where everyone has gone. When I’m in the hallway I open a door on my left to see if anyone has gone in there, and an otter jumps out at me; people down the hallway laugh as the otter scrambles around my feet making me scream and jump around. The front door was right behind me so I opened it and the otter ran out.

I continued down the hallway to where I heard the laughter come from, which turned out to be an open lounge area where everyone was sitting on couches. As I approached the lounge I noticed tiny creatures crawling on the ground. As I got closer I noticed they were tiny crabs, and underneath a couple of the couch chairs were gigantic crabs. They scared me so I jumped up onto the couch and asked why everyone was acting so chill about them.

They just laughed.

Then all of a sudden the tiny crabs ran under the couches. Someone told me the crabs come out whenever they throw crumbs on the ground, and scuttle back under the couches when the crumbs are gone.

I took this moment of crab free floor space to go to my room and go to bed.

I am way high up in the sky, floating on a cloud.  I can make the cloud go whichever direction I want.  I am free on this cloud, high up in this beautiful blue sky.

I am floating along on my cloud, when I see bricks sitting in the air, shaped like a bench.  I decide to go to the bench and get off my cloud thinking that it won’t float away..

..But of course it does.  I wasn’t worried though, because there were other people floating on their clouds, and one would surely come and help me out.

Time flies by as I’m sitting on this brick bench, high in the sky, and as I look around there is no one, and nothing, but blue skies.

I start to panic.  “What if no one comes?” “I’m going to be stuck here forever, or fall off from exhaustion!”

Hours pass by and still not a soul in sight.  I start to think of my options. I can stay up here, and possibly die of dehydration, or I can jump off and into the ocean, way, way, far down below where either the fall or sharks in the ocean will kill me.

Whichever I choose, I have accepted my fate; I am going to die.

I sat there deciding which way I would rather die: jumping off would be quicker, but it was much more frightening than sitting on this bench and eventually dying of dehydration.
