you see a man standing behind you holding a large plastic jug and funnel. Your lips and nose touch the cool refreshing water. You unintentionally slurp noisily. The water tastes so good, so refreshing, that you bury your face in the water imbibing heavily. At last you are forced to come up for air. You recall that there was someone behind you, so you turn to face him.
The man has set his jug up behind you with the funnel secured to the top.
"You're going to fill that jug?" you ask.
"That's right," he answers with an accent. You think maybe Australian or South African.
"Want me to help you dip it in the spring?" you offer.
"Not going to dip it in that spring, I like being human," is his curt reply.
"Like being human?" you ask in confusion, "Is there something wrong with the water in this spring?"
"Not so much the spring as how it replenishes itself," he says with a grin his thumbs firmly wedged in his waistband.
"Huh?" you ask. Your hand touches your belly as you hear a gurgling sound coming from inside you. It reminds you of the sound of that the water cooler at your office makes.
"See, the enchantment turns anyone or thing that drinks from that spring into water. Damn, good water mind you, that's why I trekked this jug all the way up here."
"That doesn't make any -" you start to say then clutch your belly and gurgle loudly like a water cooler before continuing, "sense."
The man steps forward, he grabs you under your arms and lifts you. He says, "My aren't you one tall drink of water."
You notice that your skin is translucent now, and you can see a bubbly liquid inside. This can't be happening. He holds you over the big funnel. You start to drip. At first you think its persperation, but you quickly realize that your translucent skin is springing leaks. You turn your head and terror to look into the face of the man who's filling his jug with you.
"What are you going to do with me?" you ask as you feel your limited cohesion feeling and prepare to splash into the funnel as liquid.
