The Ball Pool Theory

Do you know what a ball pool is? Of course you do. Probably been in one at least once in your lifetime. The giant pool that’s filled with rainbow plastic air-filled balls that surround you once you dive in. Found at one of those Chucky Cheeses restaurants? Yeah, now you understand what I’m throwing at you. Picture one of them, your about to dive in and ready to swim around in its color and when you do its like a giant wave crashing in around you. Your swallowed in a giant mouth of rainbow color, and the thing you suspect the most is when you will stop having fun and then be enveloped in fear. Then imagine your laying at the bottom of the pool, looking up at the balls that just seem to light the area around you so you can see every detail of color. When you see some balls move, you watch as it slowly creeps closer till something touches your leg, you jump and you scream sending every ball around you up in the air. Everything goes black, you witness a hint of light flutter by, no wait, it isn’t light is an eye. Someone or something just seems to be watching you, closely. This irritates you and you think, you think hard.

Madness, People wallowing in every crack of their life they shouldn’t be, making themselves angry at each other, at themselves. You watch as those people, those faceless people fight and harm themselves. Creating a giant wave of death and indecision. You cry and cry and want it to go away until you notice that your learning something. Being taught something and of course you don’t know what. So you shut your eyes and think, think of a place you want to go, a made up place. Your there, at an ice cream parlor trying to down a huge sundae; when you look closely at the sprinkles. They are maggots’ only spray painted different colors. You scream then look again and their gone. Looking up from what you have just witnessed you turn and face the person whom made it for you. He’s not human, nor real but alien. Not green like they say, nor skinny and quiet. Unmoving, just staring at you with his big lemon shaped eyes. You cant help but wonder what he is looking at when he finally smiles and waves then continues on working. Surely this alien must be nice considering the fact he brought you a new sundae

So you leave, vanishing back to the ball pool where you now stare into, waiting and watching for something to be moving. A snake perhaps, maybe just a little lizard. But you wait. What did you learn?
