twenty-seven

it was nighttime, and i was standing on the footpath by the beach just outside my house. when i realised teddy [my cat, he is a creamy persian long-hair] had run down the stairs that lead to the water. i yelled "teddy, come back!" but i realised he was helplessly floating away. following him, running down the stairs and into the water, trying to swim after him but he was too fast and the current swept him away. the thought came over me that teddy wanted to swim away from me because he disliked me for some reason. all of a sudden, the water became very, very crowded with people and it turned out to be a big party. not just a party, but a little town where people lived in one giant swimming pool. with bars, restaurants, houses, etc. someone told me that they saw teddy way on the other side of the town, and i could catch a boat there to see him. i did so, and when i found teddy, he still didn't want to come back with me. so i accepted his choice and went back to the water party, socialising with all these people i didn't know.
when suddenly, all the water was drained from the town, and a man standing high up on the concrete footpath announced that "the party is over, and may continue at a later date"
the water was then refilling the town, but everyone had disappeared.
