Anti-Grav Water / Bicycle Trip

I was hanging out with my cousin Jim in his house, which appeared to be only slightly better than your average abandoned house that you see on the back roads in the country around SE Ohio. We were sitting in the living room and he was pointing out to me that there was a small water leak in the living room, so I needed to be careful.

And he wasn't kidding. As we sat there, water started leaking from one corner of the room... but rather than filling the room the way that water normally would, it instead behaved almost like pudding or play doh, while remaining completely clear and feeling to-the-touch like normal water.

So it kept oozing out and forming a big "pile" of water in the corner of the room, which did eventually grow large enough to have crept over to me and started touching my feet. I started to react by pulling my (bare) feet out of the pile of water, but he warned me not to do it - telling me that if I broke the barrier that the water would then pour out all over us like normal water.

So I kept trying to delicately pull my feet away but it wasn't working. The water was now almost to the top of the room, leaving little room to breathe, so I finally did just yank my feet out of the giant pile of water - turning the living room essentially into a giant aquarium, with the water going all the way to the ceiling.

We hurried up the stairs into the second floor of the house, which actually let us out to the ground level... so, I guess we were technically in a basement, even though there were ground level windows that could see out. But anyway, we went outside to his backyard, which was more like an abandoned factory parking lot, complete with two big metal doors that had to be raised and lowered to control the flow of traffic into the lot. He showed me how the doors worked in sync with the various traffic symbols, and as he was doing that Scott Fate drove up in a little tiny car.

I went upstairs again to let Cassi know that her brother was there to give her her tattoo, but she was asleep and I couldn't really get her to wake up to hurry up and get ready for him. I didn't want him to have to wait, because I was worried he might just leave - but Cassi did make her way outside to the patio to get her tattoo, even though she was still half asleep.

At this point I decided to go for a ride on my bike, since I didn't wanna wait around for the hour or so it would take for the tattoo to be completed... so I grabbed it and headed off north in the parking lot. Before much pedaling I found myself approaching the northern border of the country, with a huge body of water that separated the US from the country on the other side.

But rather than being cold, the country across the water was actually in a warm climate... and as I approached the water I could hear the sounds of slot machines and music and fun coming from the other side, as I pedaled past luxury hotels with giant outdoor pools where women were swimming topless and having a good time.

They were all smiling and waving, being all friendly, and an employee of one of the hotels even came up to me in her Hawaiian dress and offered me a hot towel as I was slowly passing by. I discarded my bike at this point and began walking across a narrow strip of land that went to the other country, except the closer I got to the other side, the further away the casinos and hotels got, and the more the landscape appeared to be a sand-filled desert, not really fit for vacationing.
