The privilege of being in charge at the pool
you could swim any time
when nobody else would ever interrupt you
this freedom Tania enjoyed
sometimes a boyfriend joined her in the pool
not by any official rule!
Their passion started rising in the warm water
love-making really good
but she was also wary of the many shadows
when the lights turned low
thinking it could only be in her imagination
something of a self creation!
This was extra special just the two in the pool
the water taking their weight
first made sure the changing rooms were empty
then locked the outer doors
ignoring the sounds and shadowy movement
they were far too content!
Neither noticed the dark mass enter the pool
closing in on their pleasure
until she had a sensation of touching her leg
then the wrench he was gone
a terrified plea and now alone in the darkness
freezing without her man to caress’!
Afraid to move cautiously got out of the pool
unsure of what she could do
each step an effort in her traumatized control
got to the lighting switch
flicking down every one it became bright as day
becoming faint began to sway!
Made it to her office crumpling in her leather chair
still naked put on a spare coat
noises she had discounted so long were amplified
picking up her telephone dialled
as the operator picked up the womans distress call
from the ceiling a mass did fall!
Her last sight as it engulfed her and she was no more
just a discarded coat remained
police were sent urgently when no reply was given
breaking in nothing out of place
they carried out a thorough search of the premises
no discovery was made of the nemeses!
In the large swimming pool the two bodies were found
for the experts the mystery did confound!
