IT was hazy and we were sitting on wooden chairs that had armrests. 

The chairs were in the middle of a river and surprisingly, they were very strong. But I could not recognize those sitting by me and since I did not have a clear view, it did not bother me. 

But I saw a large basin filled with ice fish between my chair and the chair to my left. It was then I started to feel frightened. A hand came out of the haze and handed me a fish. I took it and squinted my eyes to watch what should be done. 

Then I threw the fish as far as I could and before the fish landed in the water, one huge fish lunged to grab it. Then I saw some monstrous fins skimming the surface closer and closer to me.

In my hurry to run away, I knocked the basin aside. I let out an ear-piercing scream as I felt something tickle my leg. I had nowhere to run.

And then I woke up and stopped the shrill ringing of my alarm clock.
