Every 3 hours the bucket would be lowered down and take away water for watering plants, cooking and what ever other things humans use water for. My plan was to jump in the bucket and escape when the human dumped us for the plants. I would escape before the soil sucked me in.
Every day I attempted to make it to the bucket, but so many molecules had the same plan as me. I tried so many times but I couldn’t make it in. Finally, on the 13th day in the horrible well I made it into the bucket.
There was a man at the top. He set the bucket on the ground. Where is the soil? Where are the plants? I sat for a few minutes wondering. Suddenly a huge tongue reached into the bucket and slurped many of us up. I was lucky to have missed that. But all of the sudden, out of nowhere it came back. I tried, without luck to splash out of the way and I tumbled into the animals stomach.
“Where am I? Who are you? Why is it so dark in here?” I asked a couple molecules. There was one skinny one and a tall one. “Slow down, slow down” said the tall one. “We are in a horse, I’m Rae, and, sadly there are no windows in a horse.”she added with a beaming smile. Rae turned to the short molecule and raised her eyebrows. “Oh yeah, and i’m Mizu” the skinny molecule said with a shy wave. Rae seemed very interested and asked me my story. Rae and Mizu had met a day earlier in the same horse. Mizu had lived in the Pacific Ocean until a while ago. Rae came from a cloud. I told them about where I had been and they seemed impressed.
