Dunking My Head in a Tub of Water on a Cloudy Afternoon

4:34:17 - Immersion.

4:34:20 - It's quiet down here.

4:34:21 - My ears are clogged. I can't hear a thing.

4:34:22 - Doesn't sound travel faster in water than it does in air?

4:34:23 - (Theme from "Mission: Impossible" plays in head.) Whatever happened to Thaad Penghlis? I liked Thaad Penghlis when he was on the show.

4:34:24 - Feels like outer space. I'm floating, but I can't breathe.

4:34:25 - It's dark down here.

4:34:26 - I can't even see the bottom of the tub.

4:34:27 - Shoe polish. That's what I need to get from the supermarket. Black shoe polish.

4:34:28 - If I can somehow look back up, maybe I'll see what used to be my reflection looking back at me?

4:34:29 - Or maybe I've become my own reflection somehow.

4:34:30 - Feels so light down here. Even though I can't breathe.

4:34:31 - Eternal Sunshine was a nice movie.

4:34:32 - How do those guys on Fear Factor do it?

4:34:33 - I mean, I think I can take the bugs and all, but put me underwater and I'll probably drown.

4:34:34 - So why am I doing this , anyway?

4:34:35 - Strange, that I can still think clearly when my head's in the tub. The only difference is that it's colder. And that I can't breathe.

4:34:36 - Why am I sticking my head in the tub, anyway? I can't breathe down here.

4:34:37 - I can't breathe down here.

4:34:38 - I can't breathe down here.

4:34:39 - Holy crap! I can't breathe down here!

4:34:40 - Surface.
