The calm water was dark and murky, unlike how it looked from the surface. I saw fishes swimming around me in circles, like they were trying to dance in joy or see me in curiosity. None of them ran hither and thither because of fright.
I looked down at myself and saw nothing spectacular in myself. The clear sky above let the moonlight, or the first rays of the sun, which I couldn't make out, shine through the lake's rippling surface. The light hit on the amulet that lay below a big brick, shining back its golden colour to my eyes.
Remembering my own pendant, I took it saw it flickering between red and green, as though it was trying to figure out which side it belonged to. It made me contemplate whether the changing colours of the stone had anything to do with the colour of the eyes of the males I had met in my life.
