On Sunday we went to the Randolph Community pool for some basic fun in the sun. Being that it was the last Sunday of the water recreation season, I got my bake on and headed to the pool. Jumping straight into the deep end, childhood fears, of intestine sucking drains came rushing back, sending me into a frantic shriek. It was at that time, I noticed the long forgotten safety bulletin- clearly addressing this very issue.
It is clear that the child depicted in this neglected poster, is having his/ her guts sucked right out via evil gateway to hell, known as the pool drain... I LEAPT out of the pool and consulted my associates about the likelihood/ reality of such an event... It was the next day, quietly working the holiday away, when I check my facebook to find this story, splayed ALL OVER MY NEWSFEED!! Unsuspecting Child, Violently Gets Guts Sucked out, In Viscous Pool Drain Attack Now that i knew this tragic senseless activity was in- fact occurring in local neighborhood pools, much like the one in your own backyard, I had to go!!
Running through the thick forest, filthy streets, and dingy alleys of the River City, making my bold escape from certain Randolph Community Pool death, I stumbled into some abandoned shipping containers... with dark messages of despair, and times forgotten in an isolated corner of our lost village.
I was fortunate enough to find a nice alley in the VCU area, with plenty of nooks and crannies to throw off the trail of the rapidly approaching pool drain. And a safe shelter in a pile of empty beer cases.
Now that I was finally safe from the attack of the pool drain, I felt it would be cool to go home, and get ready for cupcakes!... Which didn't come till the next day... Good thing I was able to get a rest in!
