The Large Ship

"Valiant" and I were cleaning the main floor of a house. The main floor was empty, but we were cleaning up the cobwebs and dusty floors. I was getting frustrated because it didn't seem to matter how much we cleaned, when I would look I could still see dust on the floors. After several tries of cleaning the floors, I decided that "Valiant" and I should go downstairs to the basement level and finish cleaning down there.

"Valiant" and I went into the basement level. This basement level was different as it was fully furnished and had an exposed utility room in it. We began cleaning this level of the house and as we did, the people who resided there had decided to come home. I remember being bothered by this because they were "hanging around" and were distracting us as we hadn't finished our cleaning yet.

It was getting later in the day, so I decided that it was time to "finish up", (although I don't believe i had finished the entire job) so I proceeded to go into the utility room area to gather up my supplies so I could leave. An older gentlemen who resided in the home cornered me in the room and told me that I was not allowed to leave.

I told the gentlemen that it was getting late in the day and that my husband would be getting worried and come looking for me if I didn't get going. The older gentlemen told me again that I wasn't allowed to leave until I did something with him and his family.

Next thing I know I am on this large Ship with this family. I was at the front of the boat. I stepped onto the deck so I could a better look as to where I was. As I did, this huge flock of birds went flying up into the air. I walked to the end of the deck and looked down and thought "I am really high up here!" The boat was massive.

I began to get worried at this point because I didn't know where I was or where I was going. I also was looking around for my husband and my family. But they weren't there with me. I saw the ropes that were tied to the dock being removed and the boat getting ready to launch.

I looked down in the water and tried to gauge where I should jump as I was so high up. Time was running out! I could feel the boat beginning to move and as I looked down it was beginning to slow move to the right away from the dock. I knew I needed to jump, but was afraid because if I jumped into the wrong spot in the water I could get sucked up under the boat and essentially "killed" by the rudders of the boat.
