I am in a house that seems to be empty
and for sale. In front of me are three TVs on three cabinets
in the living room. Each has a VCR and all the TVs, cabinets
and VCRs are all different. I stand in front of them trying
to decide which is the biggest. I hear water gushing and
look behind one of the TVs to find a showerhead with the
hose cut spraying water. When I ask my mum about it she
says that my dog brought it down from upstairs. I am not
surprised to see the water, even though the showerhead
is not connected to anything. I begin to stack colored
blocks representing the housing prices of decades before
and the present day, and cant understand why they always
end up the same height.
I am living in the Calder residence but it has changed
into a huge old building where everything is made of wood.
Mackenzie’s sister and brother-in-law have come
to visit and her sister gives me a bright yellow wool
sweater that is too big for me. I tell her that it’s
exactly the same as one my mum gave me. I hug her to say
thank you. We are all hanging out and Becky and Terrance
are also there. Mackenzie sits on her sister’s lap
the whole time and cries whilst staring at us. I remember
I have to go downstairs to feed my fish. There is a huge
fish tank on a tall sideboard. The fish are also huge
and I can’t reach the top of the tank. Before I
can feed them, one of them leaps out of the tank and thrashed
around on the floor. When I look up close, the fish has
turned silver and the edges of the scales and fins are
red. I leave the fish and go upstairs to tell the others
what happened. When I get to my room, they have moved
everything out of my room and onto a huge balcony that
I hadn’t noticed before.
