Snapetober Day 11 - Water

There was, in Cokeworth, an old well: it was said to be a thousand feet deep and a thousand years old, and to have been sealed when a child had almost fallen in it, many many years ago. It was closed with a heavy wooden lid, itself now suspiciously ancient-looking, and that lid was pierced in one place where there had been a knot in the wood. The little hole was round, and big enough for stones and coins to be thrown into the void: it had become a tradition in its own right.

One day, two small children, about ten years old, came to the well. The boy had dark hair, the girl was a flamboyant ginger: one after the other, they put a coin in the hole and made a wish. They waited a long time for the coins to hit the water, for a sound, even a slight echo, to come back to them. But the well swallowed the money in complete silence.

The boy's wish was: may Lily believe me. The girl's wish was: may Severus never lie.

-

At thirteen years old, Severus, flat on his stomach and holding a torch, attempted to look at the bottom of the well. But the light did nothing: it lost its way in the darkness just like it when pointed at the sky, at night.

He threw another coin, and wished for a real family. Lily wished for Petunia to like her again.

Two coins, no sound.

-

At fourteen, Severus wished for protection, and so did Lily.

-

At fifteen, Severus came alone and sat on the dirty ground, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings. He sat there a long time, looking at the hole with a cold fury that often gave way to sickening despair.

In a fit of rage, only visible from the outside by the trembling of his hands, he took a handful of mud and plugged the hole.

On the morrow, however, it was unsealed, and he wondered what Lily had wished for.

-

He did not come back until he was 21, and that day he wished to be dead.

-

From ages 31 to 37, he wished, although with heavy irony and a mental sneer, for quiet years. He came back every summer to grumble about Potter's latest suicide mission and, while doing so, cleared the place of overgrown weeds with a flicker of his wand. People in Cokeworth thought he had a green thumb.

-

In 1996, he wished for Albus to stay.

-

At some point in the summer of 1997, a silhouette appeared at dusk and stayed immobile in front of the well for a long time. The weeds were granted the right to live.

-

In the summer of 1998, the city hall finally decided to renovate this part of town, and initiated large-scale construction works. A team of five men was sent to unseal the well and draft a report on how it could be permanently plugged. In substance, the question was to know if there would be a need to drain water out of it.

They were quite surprised to discover that the well's bottom, full of mud and stones, was completely dry: the foundation contractor declared that there hadn't been water in there for the last 50 years.

Fiction concepts that hit different to the point where literally everything I’ve been obsessed with had at least one and no that isn’t even an exaggeration:

What if there was a fucked up seaside town

What if there was an extremely fancy restaurant/hotel/club but oh wait it’s fucked up actually

What if there was a prestigious school but wait, you guessed it, it’s kinda fucked up

What if there was a theme park/carnival/circus but HOLY SHIT WHAT WAS THAT THAT WAS FUCKED UP

What if you went to a party and something *really* fucked up happened

What if you died and went to the afterlife and instead of it being a fair system of judgement it’s corrupt and fucked up

What if there was a place and it seemed enticing but now you can’t leave and philosophical questions are being raised about the balance between pleasure and living a meaningful life

What if there was a horrifically uncanny dream sequence that gives you chills and you have literally no idea why

What if you were plagued and haunted by the presence of a strange other world accessible from your home

What if the boundaries between reality and fiction were dangerously blurred
