Kara could sense a change, but her mind did not have anything yardstick to measure what was occuring by.  Even before the die came to a stop, it seemed as if it was releasing a power that grew strong with each bounce as it slowed.  She could swear that the floor was turning to liquid and she jerked her arms to her side, her fingers frantiaclly looking for a crevice or some place to grab onto.  "OMG" slipped from her lips when she felt the walls moving as if they were alive.   It was then, in horror, she watched as something...black...began swirling on the floor like a black vortex and to Kara's horror, it began to flow like a black, liquid, living being..it began to flow acorss the floor towards her.."NO..noo...." her lips moved in a wordless manner.<br/><br/>Pushing back against the wall in fear...she watched as it moved to her feet and upon touching her foot, the muscles of her leg seemed to spasm as it oozed upwards, slowly flowing up her body.  Kara frantically moved her body, shook each leg and troied to move away from the living darkness to no avail.  With finality, it flowed up over her chest, up her neck and entered into her mouth.  She could feel it sliding down her throat, living..but not living.  Entering her lungs, Kara grabbed at her chest, clawing at the leather top as she felt like her lungs were going burst from the pressue, but strangely, she could was still breating  and slowly,  her world folded  in on itself and she sank into unconsiousness.<br/><br/><darkness>  water rustlng  <darkness>  people walking a tile floor  <darkness>  people talking <darkness>  heat and dampness <darkness>  water lapping around her neck <darkness><br/><br/>Suddenly sitting upwards as her eyes fluttered open...Kara looked around trying to come to grasp at her surroundings...thoughts flowed quickly through her mind...what..where..how...?   Looking around quickly, she noticed the bright colorful walls and the numerous small pools of water and some occupied  with people clmbing in and out of them in various stages of dress..   Looking around quickly,  Kara's eyes suddenly met a man in pool next to hers,  his large, waxed handle bar mustache flowed outwards from his lip, his long, oiled down hair was parted in the middle and Kara thought he looked like an 1800's barber..but then she noticed his slight smile and his eyes staring down at...<br/><br/>Suddenly, Kara;s  head and eyes snapped down at her naked body, her petite, tear dropped shapped breasts floating just on the surface of the water..."OMG...where..how....oh...please..excuse me" she blushed as she looked around for something and found a towel folded neatly on on the ledge just beside her.  Grabbing the towel, she drug it into the water and wrapped it around her, then stood up and climbed out of the pool and made her way to an opening to where she had saw people enter the room.<br/><br/>Running through the opening, she saw a desk and an overly plump woman wearing a white fluffy hat, her white apron covered a light blue calico dress.  Running up to the desk, before she could speak, the woman looked up at her and smiled..."Oh, Miss Kara...I take it you enjoyed your bath..."  reached behind her and pulled a wooden basket with clothing in it and handed it to her..."please do come back, you may change in room 6" she pointed to a set of small rooms.   Running into the room, Kara dried and pulled on the long calico dress that flowed to her ankles and slipped on the long sleeved white blouse.  Buttoning the front clasps up to her neck, she found a large silver hair comb and pulled her hair up, pinning it in place, slipped on a set of high top shoes.  After checking herself out in a foggy mirror, she stepped from the room and looked around as she muttered to herself..."now what?"
