One evening you decide to take a long, relaxing bath. As you lie in the water, you become aware of the steady drip from the faucet, but you’re too tired to lean forward and turn it off. The steam in the bathroom thickens. You hear a conversation down in the street, everyone speaking very slowly, and the sound of the water droplets are long and drawn out like slow motion explosions. You find the sensation intriguing and enjoyable, but you can’t come out of it and start to panic. You’re afraid everything will slow down to a point where you won’t be able to distinguish one thing from another, that all sound will melt and blend. You try to break the spell by shifting extremely quickly, by banging the side of the tub with your fists and your feet. But you cant move. You should have taken a shower.
