tonight, i drank the water.

every time we play basketball, i end up dying for something do drink. we play at an elementary school and everyone tells me that it’s safe to drink from one faucet. one mistake you don’t make is drinking tap water here. if you want to end up with dysentery or some other disease that geases your insides and allows everything to just slide right through, drink the water. if you want to stay regular, drink things from a bottle that has a seal.

tonight, however, things were different. i was very thirsty and very tired. i walked over to the tap with the rest of the basketball players and stood in line. if they were able to drink the water, i should be fine. i have yet to hear of any of them passing out because of some mysterious bug they got from drinking the tap water.

i drank, but only a little. i had one small cup full. it tasted like dirt and metal all at the same time. it was warm and thick. it went down slowly. i didn’t enjoy it and it didn’t quench my thirst. i was also now paranoid. i felt the water sit in my stomach. it felt like a large bag of disease just waiting to burst. i sat out the next game and watched everyone else play. i had a cup full of tap water waiting to cause havoc. i wanted to see what it would do. as of now, i’m ok. who knows what will happen in the coming days.
