There is something odd about that river. Rainbows... sparkles...vortexes... I am not sure exactly what it is.

I can see it from the corner of my eye but when I look straight at it, it looks just normal. No one seems to notice but me. I try to avoid going near the docks, it scares me. Who knows what would happen if I cross the other side again?

From a reasonable distance I checked it out today. Sometimes I thought I saw some kind of distortion... There seems to be some kind of force field emanating from the area where the docks are. But I am not so sure. I am tired. I am not sleeping much these days.

Today I saw something that freaked me out. I was trying to look at elusive signs of reality distortions from the corner of my eye when I saw it. I was looking straight at it. Or rather him.

It was an old man in speedo, floating on some kind of inflatable dolphin, in the middle of the icy river, way way out of the security area. I screamed at Shaun on the radio to come and see fast!

I think the old man was holding a glass of tequilla or something...

But before Shaun had arrived, the old man had already disapeared.

"What is it Bea? Why are you screaming like crazy?

-Oh Shaun! Nothing! I was just missing ya!"

And then I throwed him a few handfulls of fluffly snow into his opened coat. A girl must improvise something.

Shaun grabbed me in his strong arms and pushed me head first into the snow. I was laughing like crazy. For a moment I almost forgot all the weird stuff. It was just me and him having pure normal fun in the snow like when we were kids.

Suddenly Shaun pulled me up and shook snow off me, right on time for clients to pass us by. We stood and made our best smiles for them. He is such a gentlemen sometimes...

I haven't seen any other old man on an inflatable dolphin, since. Maybe I am just imagining things. What do you think?

Until now I have not told any of this crazy stuff to no one but you guys, my wattpad friends. I don't want to sound crazy, and be kicked out of my job... I already had to find a stupid excuse not to go working near the river, I don't want to worsen my case.

Also I don't want shaun to think I'm crazy. I like him alot.

I just hope nothing too weird happens for now. I am tired a little. We had alot of snow to plow today. I am going to rest. I'll talk to you later.

Ciao
