- Blue, shimmering fish dart around in the water. Their eyes look remarkably human.
- A sheet of blue flame dances up out of the water every few minutes, adding a vertical element to the reflecting pool.
- A herd of baby pygmy goats comes and splashes into the water, dancing and bucking. Each one has a ribbon with a different bell around its neck. Words are sewn into the ribbons.
- The water isn’t actually water but is instead a gel of some sort. Or maybe an ooze with astonishing reflective properties?
- A bird flies overhead and falls into the water, then disappears from sight.
- Every hour, the water solidifies into a crystalline structure, and the hour chimes out in high-pitched notes.
- Strands of water tug at the digits of anyone who seeks to disturb the water with them.
- The reflection of you morphs. You appear as if you’d lost every ounce of blood in your body.
- When the first light of dawn hits the reflecting pool, a beautiful genderless humanoid dances down a sunbeam and walks the length of the shallow water of the pool.
- Touching the stars that are reflected within the pool is rumored to connect you to an inscrutable being who temporarily possesses you for 24 hours.
- Those who drink from the water of this reflecting pool are gifted with visions about the next person they see.
- The pool’s water level never changes, regardless of the weather conditions. Each day, the area around it smells of a different scent that provides delight to at least one person who ventures near it within that 24-hour period.
