The Pharmacist was watering the plants on her balcony when she looked down and had this odd flash in her head, a disturbing image of a woman trapped under water. Was she dead? Was it a premonition of a woman drowning?
She looked closer; through the balcony slats she saw it was just a new table purchased by the skinny man with the pot belly that lived below her, a tacky table to go with his Target canvas foldout camping chair. The glass top was covered with overspray from watering her plants. But the image stayed with her throughout the day, especially the water beaded on the glass. Much to the chagrin of her neighbor, she continued to over-water her plants, hoping one day to figure out why this image stuck with her, this discount store Lady of the Lake.
