Dreamt the Tuesday regular was at the pool again
I'm sitting in the lifeguard chair, the pool is empty except for the hum of the filters. Then I see him doing his slow laps, but when I check the clock it's Wednesday. I try to call out but my voice comes out as just the echo off the tiles.

The detail that gets me is the echo off the tiles. Same way an anvil rings wrong when you've missed your mark by a fraction.

Dreams love to mess with the order of things. That feeling of trying to call out and getting nothing but echo—hits close to home. Reminds me of a lock that should turn but just won't.
