"I almost lost this..." David Mulhern

The water was coming and we had to do something to save our lives. The water was coming in fast. It was a flood.

On a small rectangular desk in front of us was a tiny white boat. It looked like a little tugboat. We ran to the boat. I knew it was only a replica and it wouldn't float or stand up against the water... but we went in anyway, knowing we would probably die.

And the water came. And when I stood on the deck I could see water all around us and I could imagine the inevitable fate of the boat.

Inside, there was this little room with a bed and a table and a lamp and Ashley and Molly and a bong and we decided that we would smoke. It was all a little scary because we all knew we would drown, but we all thought it would be better if we drowned high...

And after a while I decided to go back up to see how bad our situation was. I went out to a large room and I looked out the window and there was no water. There were these beautiful mountains with mist at the top of them.

I walked out on the balcony. We were on dry land and we were towards the top of a hill. There were houses all around.

But the house gave way when I stood on the balcony... it rolled down the hill. I could hear the girls inside telling me to stop. They thought I was just pulling a prank... and finally the house stopped rolling. It hit a tree and was ripped apart. 

The owner of the house was very mad because he suddenly realized it was made of particle board. He said, "I  have some phone calls to make," and he went inside and started yelling at people on the phone. I was telling the girls in the kitchen what had happened and they started laughing... All I could think about was the mist covered mountains in the distance.

I started driving towards them. The mist covered the tops of the mountains which made them seem quite small. But the closer I got the higher the mist went up... I slowly realized how high these mountains were. 

It was lightly raining and I was in a green jeep. I drove into a dirt lot and down a little road to a village halfway up the mountain. This little village was for shopping, but there were no other cars there so I figured I couldn't park there so I backed up.

On my way out of the village I saw a no parking sign. It seemed strange because it was in English and I wasn't in America.

I parked on the road and walked down the little dirt road to the shops. I realized I had no pants on so I walked backwards then they appeared. I thought my car was blocking the road... I looked up and it wasn't.

Go Back
