I
was in an English pub. It had an aquarium in front of the bar and there
was a dolphin in it. He was five or six feet long and the aquarium was
barely big enough for him. Then a fire broke out and we saved him. We were
carrying him and no one knew what to do with him so I suggested we keep
him in the Santa Paula public swimming pool for now. The pool was huge
and more than 50 feet deep in some parts. They were still filling it with
water when we got there and it was only half full but there were people
in it already like they couldn't wait. We dropped the dolphin in the water
to see if he liked it. At first he swam only within a small area (which
I imagined was exact size of his previous home) but he quickly learned.
I was worried that people would see him but no one did except for a little
girl. He swam close to the wall and he was very fast. A girl (she helped
carry him from the pub) tried to talk to him but he didn't hear her because
she was standing ten or twenty feet above the water. The shallow end of
the pool was sloped, a beach covered with smooth tiles. I went there
and sat on the water's edge. I dipped my hand in the water and called out
the dolphin's name. He came to me in an instant, bulleting out of the water
and sliding up the smooth slope and then down again, resting on my back.
Then he shapeshifted, taking on a human form and we were friends.
