There
was a day unlike most for Carlton once. He had unexpectedly
been tipped out of a canoe by a rather bumbly mole.
He remarked while falling over "Good heavens,
you oaf!” Carlton hit the cold water with
a splash!
He was amazed to find a vast undersea world of great
depth and space, however it’s location was
a seemingly tiny creek. In the distance stood a
great Christmas tree lined with tremendous red orbs
shimmering with a translucent film. Yet apparently
permeable, for Carlton witnessed a flock of creatures
similar to that of the classic Greek mermaid swimming
through its surface as they left what appeared to
be a city.
Carlton had barley a moment to think as his body
instinctively sunk towards the bottom of this great
sea. He cried for help, but found he had no voice.
His marker was starting to wash off and with it
his only means of communication. His eyes darted.
"Where was the mole,” he thought. As
he looked up the mole was floundering under the
boat, waving his feat wildly. "Well that’s
not the way to do it,” Carlton tried to remark,
but quickly realized his mouth was completely gone.
Faced with this scenario Carlton felt helpless.
What could he do but sink and enjoy the ride? He
looked about with a mental smile, and let it beam
as wide as he could. A bright purple jellyfish caught
his eyes. It was the strangest shade of purple.
A purple of used Barney plush warmth. Within the
plasmatic interiors floated creamish flowers that
occasional flashed with electricity denoting it
was a beauty seen and not touched.
A red water snake swam mindlessly in the direction
of the Barnied purple jellyfish. This crimson creature
was either on a suicide mission or had no idea of
the apparent strength of the beast that crossed
his path. While the snake continued with out a care,
Carlton let lose a tear that went unnoticed in the
water, for he felt a sudden connection with the
unlucky snake. Carlton thought that maybe he should
close his eyes, but felt compelled to keep them
open as the snake neared the end. The purple jellyfish
suddenly stretched himself so thin that a hole opened
up within him wide enough for the snake to easily
swim though, allowing him to continue along his
merry way.
Once clear the jellyfish recondensed with a sudden
crack that propelled the water at great speeds towards
Carlton. Carried along by this force wave, Carlton
was flung against the ground of the seas and rebounded
into a piece of seaweed so large that as it floated
and seemed as if it were alive. The rubbery water
tendrils quickly enveloped him and he felt them
wrapping around his body and pulling inward. Before
he could panic he heard a sound, which he mistakenly
thought, was a rubber band being pulled taut.
Wa-bagg!
The water was white and full of bubbles passing
by his eyes. He felt himself lift, He was moving
upward. The water became brighter and bluer, richer.
Ears moaning, he shot out of the water arching towards
the sun and then landing in the boat that had been
newly righted by the clumsy mole. He landed with
a thump into the seat that he had just previously
been occupying. Reaching quickly for the magnum
44 he drew on a mouth and exclaimed “I'm driving!"
as he pulled the oars away from the mole with a
sudden jerk.
