The apartment has half-filled with warm water. The bathtub must have overflowed; now the place is an indoor swimming pool. High in the air: a high-rise with nighttime skies in the windows. This would be fun, swimming around inside, except the water will destroy the books. You drain the tub and the water recedes, leaving behind fine black sand over the floors and furniture.
