There was this girl in a public pool, looking at everyone's faces. They all seemed so happy, so joyful. But she did not catch the feeling.
As she started walking around, completely bored, she began feeling empty and lonely. There was not an actual reason, she just felt that way.
And then, out of the blue, someone called her name. She was so focused on putting one foot after another that she did not realize what was happening. Her eyes finally met the new environment and she was hit with the cold and impossible truth. There was no one at the pool anymore, there was nobody at all.
She could not react at first, starting to feel anxious. She looked around wondering where the voice that called her name earlier was, but there was no one in sight. Then, her reflection in the water started to shake. Very confused, and horrified she watched more closely and began to walk towards it. She was hypnotized by some kind of spell or mysterious power. The water was indeed calling her. Her reflection was not blurry anymore. It was like a mirror, the liquid stayed so calm that it almost looked like glass. As Alice through the mirror, she wanted to touch the thin layer. Not even she knew the direction in which her weird thoughts were heading.
Finally, her finger touched the surface. The sensation was overwhelming. Instead of feeling something sore or humid, the feeling was exactly like touching jelly; it was insane. She did not feel afraid at all. Besides, she forgot about the fact that she was lonely.
Nothing had ever felt so peaceful and so non-explanation needed.
Time went by and she did not even realize. It was like a loop in her head. But soon, everything went down a hall. The next thing that happened occur so fast that she could not even catch her breath. Something, we do not know what pulled her hand down into the strange surface.
And even if she tried to escape, she ended up being swallowed by the monster. The monster of loneliness.
