For reasons unknown, a writer struggling with inspiration has taken refuge in a swimming pool, hoping to find the peace and quiet he needs to write. Unfortunately, he soon finds himself confronted with a constant procession of bathrobe-clad spa-goers seeking the invigorating benefits of the thermal waters. Like zombies, they wander aimlessly, oblivious to the writer struggling to put pen to paper. What will become of this most peculiar encounter?
