The Floating House

I live in a strange house. I live in a floating house, sailing the sea. Not a houseboat, just a house. No one sails it, it just goes where it wants. If I need to get somewhere, my house will go to that location. It’s like my house can read my thoughts. I often like to look out the window, out at the sea. Sometimes, I swim out at sea. I always return to my floating house. Other times, my house will come to me. I enjoy exploring the ocean and different islands, towns and cities. I often see other boats passing by. I know they wonder about my floating house and can’t believe that they see a house at sea. I have a small deck area, where I go outside and sit on one of the chairs. I keep a journal and write about the different interesting places I’ve been to. I also take photos and keep them in my photo album too. It was raining one day. I was drinking my coffee and listening to the rain. I went to go watch TV, still listening to the rain. Pretty soon, the rain started to get heavy. There were strong winds, thunder and lighting. The storm made huge waves. I could feel the house flying up in the air and landing back in the ocean, with a huge splash. This has happened before. I have my furniture mounted to the floor, so everything is in its place. The storm was still going on, but not as crazy as before. It was just mostly heavy rains and wind now. And just like that, it stopped. My house floated to a seaside town. I walked the town. I have already gone grocery shopping recently. So, I don’t need to do that here. I decided to go out for dinner and ice cream. I returned to my floating house. My house sailed away from the seaside town, farther and farther away, until it became distant. It was getting dark. I went outside on my deck and watched the sunset. I went back inside to take my shower. After I was done and got in my pajamas, I went outside again, only this time to watch the stars. I thought about the seaside town and wrote about it in my journal. I continued stargazing. I remember one time when I saw the aurora borealis, I had taken a photo of that. I went inside and went to bed, feeling the house sway at sea. I went to sleep, thinking about what kind of adventures I would have tomorrow. Where my floating house would take me next.
