A Swim In The Pool

Hannah looks at the pool outside and she knows she wants to go for a swim.  However her family is home, and she does not want them to see her without her clothes on -  it gives her the creeps.  So Hannah calls Lisa on the phone and she asks if she can visit her house to go for a swim.

"Oh yes sure!"  calls Lisa before she hangs up the phone.

"Hmm... I wonder why Lisa hung up the phone so fast?"  asks Hannah as she narrows her eyes.  "I guess I can talk about her phone manner later;"  she states before she packs a towel into a bag.


Hannah goes to Lisa's house and she gasps!  Lisa has tons of friends over, and they all smile as they see Hannah with her towl bag.

"Hey there Hannah!"  cheers friend Paula.  "Can't believe you made it for the pool party!"  she states.

"I would not miss it for the world!"  tells Hannah as she looks around and gulps as she sees beer being passed around.

"Let's go swimming!"  states Ingrid as she clutches Hannah's arm.

Hannah nods and goes out to the pool deck and there she smiles at the lights shining from under the water.

"It's like a paradise pool!"  tells Hannah as she smiles.  "I can't wait to hop inside of the water!"  she exclaims.


Ingrid and Hannah jump inside of the pool and begin to splash around.  Some others around them grow annoyed and splash back, and soon there is water being thrown out all over the place!

"Stop throwing the water!"  yells Lisa from the side of the pool.

Everyone stops throwing water, and soon the crowd inside of the pool is hanging around like buoys in an ocean.

Lisa looks at Hannah and waves.

"Looks like you found the water;"  she calls.

"Yes I did!"  gasps Hannah. 

"I helped!"  tells Ingrid.

"Okay happy swimming!"  calls Lisa before she leaves to entertain inside of the house.

"She is so cool!"  tells Ingrid as she looks to Hannah.  "I am glad you came, no one else wanted to swim!"  she tells.

"I needed a swim!"  gasps Hannah as she floats on her back.  "Nice hot night!"

"I know!"  tells Ingrid before she also floats on the water.

A big dive bomb breaks the floating and the two girls sink under the water before they re-surface! 

"Oh no!  That bombed the floating!"  cries out Ingrid.  "Let's go!"

"Okay!"  tells Hannah before she slips out of the pool.


Inside of the house Hannah and Ingrid hang around the fans until they are dry.  Some other people stare as they wipe themselves down with a towel, but no one comments.  Hannah puts her dress back on as soon as she is dry before she helps herself to some soda water -   Ingrid helps herself to some beer.

"Hey put beer in that water!" calls Ingrid before she pours beer into Hannah's cup.

"Okay;"  mutters Hannah before she begins to sip.


After a few hours everyone is drunk and they begin to bump shoulders.  Hannah feels heavy and bloated, and she realizes fast she needs to go home.  All of her friends have gone off to do numerous activities -  comb their hair, eat, drink, lay on the pool deck, and so Hannah walks to the front door.

Outside the world is dark and Hannah walks in the middle of the street as the crickets buzz all around.  She walks on and on and within minutes she is back at home.


"I am home!"  calls Hannah as she enters the house.

There is no answer and Hannah goes to bed.  However Hannah tosses and turns on her bed - she can't get comfortable, and so she decides that she needs to go for another swim. 

Hannah takes off her dress and walks outside.  She jumps inside of the water and swims!  However her laps are slow and clumsy and in the end Hannah decides to float.  When floating she falls asleep and she turns over until she is floating face-down on the water.


Hannah wakes up in a hospital bed and she feels a sharp pain inside of her chest. 

"What happened?"  she asks.

"You almost drowned;"  calls a nurse.  'You have been in a coma for eight hours;"  she states.

"Oh no, what a bummer!"  gasps Hannah as she touches her chest.  "I need a drink;"

"We only have juice or water here;"  tells the nurse.

"Water please;"  tells Hannah as she shrugs.

"I'll be back soon!"  tells the nurse.

Hannah hangs around in bed and looks at the medical equipment.

"They really have me hooked up!"  she mutters before she pulls on a portion of tubing.

"Don't touch that!"  tells the doctor sharply as he enters the room.

"Who are you?"  asks Hannah as she looks at the doctor.

"I am Doctor Griggs;"  tells the doctor.  "You drowned in a pool after getting drunk, we have revived you;"  he states.

"Oh good!"  tells Hannah as she grins.  "Can I go home now?"

"In four hours;"  tells doctor Griggs as he taps his pen against the clip-board.  "We have to monitor you first;"  he tells.

"Okay;"  mutters Hannah before she pokes at her chest once again.  "I have a sharp pain in my chest;"

"Oh yes you will experience those from time to time;"  tells doctor Griggs.  "Your heart stopped and started so there will be some chest pangs;"

"Okay;"  mutters Hannah before she leans back on her bed.  "Where is my family?"

"They will be notified that you are awake and be here in four hours;"  tells doctor Griggs.

"Okay;"  mutters Hannah before she grows disinterested.  "Can I watch television?"  she asks.

"Sure;"  tells doctor Griggs before he turns the television on.

Hannah relaxes and begins to watch television, the doctor hangs around to read her monitor but soon he leaves Hannah alone.


Later that day Hannah's family come to pick Hannah up -  she is so happy to see them! 

"Let's go home!"  states her father Tim before he opens the car door.

'I would love to!"  tells Hannah before she slips inside of the car and is driven away.
