Untitled Story About A Clawfoot BathtubsteemCreated with Sketch.

in Freewriters5 years ago

"That's a nice bathtub. It's like, out of an old movie."

"It's a clawfoot bathtub."

"Is that what they call them?"

"Yes."

"I love it. I really do."

What was really interesting in that conversation, was the remark about it being from an old movie. That could be true. But, then again, it may not be. It depends on your perspective.

"I want you to sit in this bath later."

"Thank you. That would be nice."

"But, please, wear what you would wear if you were going out for the night."

"I'm not sure I follow."

That's good. Sometimes, we need to let go of our expectations and just go with it.

"I'm ready."

"Great, just go and sit in the bath."

"With what I am wearing?"

"Yes."

There was not going to be any water here tonight. But when someone is trying something new, like sitting in the bathtub, some instructions might be handy.

"What am I waiting for?"

It's the bathtub that is waiting, for instructions from you.

"Turn the taps on."

"But I'll get wet."

The realisation now, the taps are not connected to any pipes.

A leap of faith. Turn on the cold tap, just a little bit.

Then, power and speed. Travelling through space? Travelling through time? Hard to tell, but it is a strange sensation.

Then, it stops.

"Where am I? Am I in an old movie?"

"No, you're in a movie that hasn't been released yet."
