Waterfalls

Waterfalls by Cassalett
"Up there, where the water can't reach me." The little boy was smiling. He really was having fun, unlike the rest of us. He started climbing, and soon was at the top; and then he kept going, until
he was far above where the waterfall started. Trying to not act like the adult I was, I decided to follow the kid. The climb proved easier than it looked, and at the top, the view was
breathtaking. The kid looked at me, then looked down, and, laughing, jumped to the pool below. It must have been at least a 30 feet drop. He landed with a big splash, and surfaced, still
laughing. "What the hell," I said, and jumped. I'm back in my cell. The gray walls give me comfort. I get up from my bed, jump as high as I can, do a cartwheel, land in the
corner, and sit with my legs crossed. Back to the waterfall.
Water everywhere; wet, splashing water everywhere. All of a sudden the thought
strikes me: Is this water safe to drink? I swallow a mouthful. It's distilled water, I can tell. Underwater swimming is my specialty. Without surfacing, I go to the wall and get out of the
pool. The air is refreshing.
"Dinner." A plate appears from the slit on my door. This goo is actually not bad. Wait. There was more people... where did
they go? I look around my room. No, wrong place.
They're all hiding up on the trees. "It's almost dark," they yell down at me. "Start a fire." Not a bad idea; it can get cold
here at night. The fire is
up in no time, and they
come down from the
trees. Beautiful people,
them. Elves, I think. The
women have pointy ears
and gray eyes, and
beautiful... everything.
They guys I really don't
look at, I'm not attratced
to them.
At night, I've been told the waterfall falls upwards. So I have to go look for my self. It's
hard to tell, really, in
the dark. Idea: I grab my
torch and throw it at
the waterfall. Indeed, the
water catches it and up
it goes, up into the sky,
and then it disappears.
Interesting. Upside-down
waterfalls. Maybe I'll
explore some more
tomorrow.
I go to my bed, and fall asleep in my gray, sterile room with a little window and a slit
on the door. It's great
to be free.
