Warning

Posted on by Reena Saxena

“But there’s no water anywhere around here”

I exclaim on seeing a ship anchored to the threshold of my front door.

Thankfully, it’s a dream.

“Trevor, will you stop watching news and help me in the kitchen?”

“The city is getting flooded. Didn’t you hear thunder last night?”

“I saw a ship…” I stop in my tracks to see water trickling inside from the main entrance.

No, I didn’t hear the thunder. But I heard a warning, and ignored it.

The ship announced the arrival of water. It needs to sail.

And we need a safe place to move.
