From Chapter 1, Page 8
I backstroked – letting the water caress my naked body. I imagined that it was coming to life and making love to me. Wanting me. Wishing it would take me under and fill me. Drowning me with passion. Laying on my back in the water, I let the relaxing flit-float, flit-float drift me away…
I dreamed about Aquaman coming out of the water. Blonde, perfect, frat-boy Aquaman. This entire time he’d been hiding in the Days Inn swimming pool waiting for me to jump in so that he could finally ask me to marry him.
Aquaman said: “Hi Joseph, I’ve come to take you to the Hall of Justice. You’ll get to have breakfast every morning with Wonder Woman and help me feed my fish.”
Water suddenly spurted out of my nose and I woke up with a shock. There were other people coming into the pool! Where was my swimsuit? Frantically swimming over to the ladder my trunks were hanging off of, I quickly pulled them on just as the elderly couple from Detroit walked onto the patio.
The elderly woman instantly recognized me. “Well, hello stranger! Look Louis, it’s the man at the front desk. Are you checking in guests here as well?”
I politely laughed at her joke, looking longingly at the pool water. Oh, if only Aquaman really did live in this swimming pool…
