Under River Rock #bidford 11

In the unlikely event that I was to fall in, where would I end up? I’m quite a good swimmer so I wouldn’t get far unless the current took me under. There’s every chance that someone may throw me a ring. I always get confused where these rivers go. We tend to see them as a natural background rather than a throughfare to transport ourselves. Often we’ll do a circular trip for the novelty of it. Or I could end up in an underwater world with mermaids who try to save me in between realising that I don’t have gills. There may even be underground caves that haven’t been explored because no-one knows of their existence. It could be the world of the missing who wonder what these strange fossils are that wash up on their shore. It could be a home for the abandoned and reclusive that don’t want to be involved with society any more.
