Fade in …

Myself, a guy same age as myself and a girl same age my self are walking on an unpaved walkway beside a canyon through which a river flowed. Soon I come up with the idea that it’d be nice to be able to cross the river, and mind you this isn’t a small stream cum only named river, this is a full blown Nile/Indus/Amazon equivalent river that stretches around 1~3 km across. So, myself and girl started slowly walking across the river, the other guy said that we were morons and he excused himself from this doomed adventure.

Soon the water was too deep to be walking so i started the cycling motion of the feet in order to stay afloat and upright at the same time. As i was slowly moving forward across the river, I noticed something brush past my feet, i disregarded it initially as just something trivial. However, as it happened again, i tried to look through the water to what it was. Soon I realized that this was a giant river dolphin. Under most normal circumstances, if i am ever in such a situation, two things will happen, 1 – I will swim towards the shore as fast as possible 2 – The thought of killing/fishing and than eating the dolphin will never enter my mind. However, this is a dream, so what happens here is that I take my harpoon (not I have one) and actively start trying to hunt this dolphin, and soon enough I have this thing impaled. Also, I am not missing on the details, it really is very easy to harpoon things in one’s sleep. Anyways, getting back, I started swimming towards the shore along with my kill. Once I reached there, i placed the dolphin on concrete steps that were present right at the river’s edge.

All was great, I was convinced that once on the steps, this thing could in no way make it back to the sea. However, soon I realized that water level in the river had started rising and consequently I started running upstairs on the same concrete steps that now extended to the top of the  barren canyon. I could constantly feel the water touching my heels. A thought crossed my mind, that is, whatever happened to the fish that I had placed at the bottom of the steps, as I was thinking that, I started slowing down and now the water was at my knees, all the while the level was increasing quickly and with in minutes it was at my waist. The fact that I was trying climb stairs all the while getting engulfed in more and more water slowing my progress. Right at the instant I thought that I would be gone with the flood, either my speed increased or the fill rate decreased and soon I found my self at the top of the valley.

When I got to the top, I saw the same man that I had seen at the start … sitting there smirking at me, as if he was mocking my stupidity to go diving in river waters.
