The Man Who Can Breathe Under The Water

The forest was shaggy and trees were growing abundantly. Everything was green except for the blue skies when you look above. We, a friend of mine and I, were about to go some where. A journey which will lead us to somewhere I don’t know where yet. All I know at that instant is I have to go there. Some part of the reverie was a blur. Like my friend, I can hardly see what she looked like. But I can depict her features, she’s lean, lighter complexion that mine and shorter than my height.

I think we’ve been walking for quite some time. Finally after the long walk, we found a pond, a small pond. It is circle in shape and looks ordinary. Then all of a sudden we felt like we have to get some thing from the deep of the pond in order to carry on the journey.

My friend tried to dip herself to the pond. But before she got totally wet something or someone has interrupted her attempt. From where I stand, it looks like there were three men trying to push her up and away from the pond. When she got out of the water, those three men mount from the pond too. I was shocked because the three men’s complexion was black and white, literally. Their skin has no color; they looked like a 3D animated picture whose skin color was adjusted to black and white. Then I saw them detaching something from the under of their ears, and slowly they start to regain their natural colors, like the skin of a normal person.

Those three men were like guardians of the pond. I believe they’re protecting the pond from someone who might have just stolen that something from the deep of the pond. Then I ran towards the man who was tallest from the three and hugged him. He’s tall, taller than I taught. And it becomes obvious as I got closer to his body. He has a perfect body for a man and he has a fair complexion now, the same color I have, unlike moments ago when he was black and white. At the back of my mind I was shocked by my action. But I felt like I know this person so much I just had a gap of memory that I had forgotten about him. In the vision I can see myself as one of the cast and also as someone who can see the whole scenario. It’s just like being in two places at the same time but the other one is invisible to the eyes of the others. The other two men where shorter in height than he was, but they were blurrier than my friend I can’t examine their features.

“Why you didn’t let my friend go underwater?” I asked. He didn’t reply or maybe I just didn’t recall what he had said. “What if I jump in the water?” I threaten him. I loosen my arms that were locked around his neck. I suddenly ran towards the water and jump as fast as a normal person can do. But no matter how fast I go he’s still faster than me. Faster than any other human I ever saw. With a blink of an eye, he’s there under the water with me protected around his arms. Everything was so fast. The small pond from above was a wide body of water from beneath. It was deep and never ending. It has no living creatures only blue water. But because of his speed all I can see was white, the look of water that was being disturbed by outside forces. It seemed we’ve been swimming for more than any person can hold his breathe under the water and I don’t like feeling the need to respire. Like I have gills not lungs. But of course I’m quite sure that I have lungs for I’m a normal human. I just don’t think he’s normal, or human. And with a zoom I’m on the ground again, still locked around his arms and feeling the heat of his body.

Then somebody woke me up. End of dream.
