I had the day off. Though I really wanted to go into work. Gary would not allow me to go into work, because of what happened. I had really odd dreams off and on all night that night.

About falling in the water. Getting gills and swimming around in the tank. One other dream I had that night was of me being chained in the tank like the merman. He was really on my mind.

We were connecting to deep levels. But then when we did, he was pushing me away once we had reached those levels. I did not get why. I hoped that one day I was going to be able to find out why.

I was hanging out at Kandice house that afternoon I was off work. I planned on swimming in her pool. Normally I sat back drinking a sweet tea because I could not swim. Today I wanted to try something out.

Better to try that out in a pool not in an ocean. That way Kandice was around, and she could save me if I failed this test. I sit there in my chair while Kandice sat on a floaty getting a tan.

Could I swim now? Could I breathe under water? What had that merman done to me? Had he given me some powers? Or was it a one-time thing kind of deal?

"You are coming in the water there Elissa?" questions Kandice.

I nod. "Sure, in a moment I will" I tell her.

"Why are you so deep in thought?" she asks me.

"Something bad happened to me yesterday at work" I sigh.

"What happened?" she begs to know.

I could not tell her too much or I would be fired. "I fell in the big tank. I nearly died when I fell in the water. A man saved my life" I admit.

"Wow what worker saved you?" she begs to know. "did Gary save you?" she teases.

"No, he did not save me" I grumble. "anyway, it had me shook up. I could not stop thinking about it"
