last night my dreams were filled with many things, but at awakening from them, only one stayed in memory.

behind a house there was a cement rectangular pond, not very large, about the size of a pickup truck. it was night. the surface of the water was covered sparsely with aquatic plants. some friends and i were out playing out in the forest by this house. one of the girls wanted to go swim in the pond. so did the other ones. the guys were hesitant. something about the pond just didnt set well with me. in the darkness, the pond didnt look filled with water, but filled with a thicker, blacker substance.

they jumped in anyways. there was laughter. there was splashing. then one of the girls didnt come back to the surface. the other two girls didnt either. what should have been a pond only a foot or so deep, was now bottomless, from the large branch i, terrified, stuck into water.

parents were alerted. flashlights gathered. im pretty sure it was julie clark who was one of the missing girls, because gordy was there, fear and panic on his face.

we all came back to the pond. one of my friends, i dont know who, agreed to go in after the girls. im pretty sure we tied a rope to him, gave him something to ward off evil, and let him go. the surface of the water opened up like the skin of a cocoon and sealed back up after he entered. minutes passed. suddenly, out of the slime came the boy tugging on the feet of someone. he pulled, everyone jumped to help him. covered in bluish slime, limp and cold, the legs were that of a girl. she slid out of the substance and laid coughing in the arms of one of the adults.

the other two girls came out eventually in similar ways.

thats about all i remember. jesus.
