"OH BRAD NO, yelled Mellony as she toppled into the chilly water." A splash and she went down, down, down, before reacting and turned around swimming to the surface.
"Brad you son of a...., Hey help me out'a here, as Mellony put up her right arm." The retaining wall was a good six foot higher than the resevior's surface.
Brad leaned over the edge with a hand out for to Mellony, while chuck held Brad's belt asa safety. Reaching out both hands touched as Brad exclaims, "Gee this water smells pungent!"
"If you mean it sticks down here your right, said Mellony!"
With a good hold on Mellony she is pulled up and now sits cold, wet, and angry on top of the retaining wall.
Sputter, spitting she coughs out the water swallowed when she was pushed in, "Damn you Brad!"
"Oh Mellony your wet, said Brad with a laugh."
"I'm more than wet, I'm damn mad, you could have killed me! If their were rocks or if it wasn't deep enough to break my fall I.......Brad!"
As she sets there Mellony begins to itch. "I'm wet and sticky there's bubbles coming up from the bottom. That's what you smelled! You pushed me into the residue of whatever it is and now I'm sticky!"
"OK I'll drive you home, said Chuck. You can shower and we'll check on you in the morning. Hey, we could go to the Museum of Natural History they have a new exibit on prehistoric stuff!"
It was agreeable to all as Chuck dropped off Mellony's date Brad. Ears still burning from Mellony's disgusted attitude, he walked in without looking back to wave a good bye.
