This is a stand alone freewrite, although it does follow on from "Jelly". To start at the beginning click here.
Mike was fully aware that he should have been freaked out a long time before now.
But he was definitely really freaked now.
He was in a room. He could see the walls. Granted they were a long way off - a very long way off - but they were there. But - and this was where he was starting to question his sanity - there did not seem to be a roof. The "light" above him was definitely sun-like.
But possibly not the sun.
Which was obviously worrying.
The gondola continued to drift along the canal. Mike decided that because the Jellys wanted him in the gondola, and because they wanted him to drift along the canal, that was as good a reason as any NOT to be in the gondola or the canal. He was going to have to swim for one of the banks. But he did worry about what was in the water.
He had seen shapes.
And the water kind of shimmered a bit too.
He knelt and looked over the edge of the boat. Gingerly, he dipped his finger into the water. It seemed warm enough. He pulled out his finger and screamed.
His fingernail had been pulled right off...
...
I want another spoonful of Jelly please
