“Jim! Jim, what happened?”
“It’s okay, love. I can’t keep this form for very long at a time. That’s why I needed the trash can and the sponges.”
Yvonne shook her head in amazement. “This is…way too unreal…”
Jim frowned as best he could. “Unfortunately, it is real. Listen, can you two help me into that trash can? That way, you won’t accidentally absorb me up with the other water.”
“Sure thing,” Nora said, tilting the can so Jim could get inside. He leaned into the mouth and jumped, becoming a cascade of water as his liquid body poured itself into the can. He reformed a moment later inside.
Nora looked over to Yvonne, still wide-eyed in the doorway. She snapped her fingers in Yvonne’s face. “Wake up, girl!”
Yvonne snapped to. “Oh, yeah, sorry. Well, let’s get started.”
“Okay,” Jim gurgled. “Be careful of the liquid in here…”
