The spaceship, which was rather like a skyscraper hotel, had landed in a broad shallow sea. In the morning, I looked out from my window across the beautiful glimmering water stretching as far as I could see. Long legged water birds stalked and beaked things in the shallows. It was a long way down from the balcony, too far to jump or climb. I thought of knotted rope, or stopping to make a very long rope ladder, then thought of how long it took me to crochet 2 inches of yarn-bombing and that tying knots in rope would make my hands hurt. It was a dream, so I could make there be an elevator! There was an elevator, a glass one on the outside of the ship. I enjoyed the long trip down.

In the cargo bay, which was all metal and rivets, a little bit rusty, I had a breakfast picnic and watched the birds with my legs dangling in the warm water. They looked very much like canada geese with flamingo legs. I didn't dare swim.

I was reading a book about some women having adventures - it was an animated movie and a book at once - I had a visitor who was beautiful & laughing - but then she told me she had been drugged and kidnapped by someone who came from the top of the spaceship - and he began to eat her piece by piece. She unwrapped a bandage on her foot to show me the missing, raw parts of her foot and ankle, laughing but sad - Then she became a story in a book I was reading on a tiny ipad. my friend pantryslut asked me to borrow the book to read it to one of her daughters. I warned her how sad and scary and gory it was. "Oh, she likes that sort of thing..." So I handed it over.
