scubacide

There's a water cooler where I work, which I visit several times a day in order to fill up my water bottle. It's the classic kind, with a giant upside-down clear container, and a little lever down below, which one uses to dispense the water.

Everytime I fill up my water bottle, big, intermittent air bubbles rise from the bottom up, as though there's a scuba diver just out of sight below. When I release the lever, the bubbles get smaller and slower until one final little bubble rises and pops, as though I've killed the little scuba diver. This is how I start every morning.
