I'm in this place like a hotel but I've been there a long time and I go down to this place like a pool but with high smooth cliff walls and we do this thing (my friends and I) like a sport where you drop down along the receding wave and when the next one comes in you fling yourself up along the smooth cliff and then drop back down on the receding wave. You have to time it just right and choose a big wave or you'll get stranded up on the shore and have to scoot yourself down. You also have to aim right so you don't get your bum caught on some rough outcropping of the rock and end up cut and bleeding which I did and it wasn't pretty.

After this I went and sat and looked at myself in the mirror and I was like a real-life anime character fresh and young and with very wide bright eyes. And I recognized myself as strange in this image but I recognized myself.

And then I went back to my room where the girl had left an answering machine message for me saying that she was packing for India and she wished I could be there to help her pack and I wished I could too.

And the computer had beads of water on it, as if it had been passed through a car wash in a loose plastic bag.

And I couldn't wipe it off.
