45-year-old married Paul could not help but notice subtle changes over the past few weeks to his wise 40-year-old river personality and behaviour.
She had become terrible at cooking.
She had practically burned every meal she had tried to make in the past week.
She had become terrible at doing the laundry.
Burning three of his shirts and shrinking two of his jumpers.
It was like domestic housework was a new thing to her.
Nowadays when he came home from work she was not waiting there with pipe and slipper in hand and they kissed him.
To make matters even worse she had started smoking and drinking hard liquor, especially during the day.
She had stopped showing any sort of affection to water and found it repulsive whenever he tried to kiss her.
He could not help but notice that she was starting to act more like a mountain than a woman.
If things carried on like this he said to himself he was going to have to have her committed.
If only he had known that the Spirit of his next-door neighbour 80-year-old Anthony had passed into her body when he had died things might have been a little bit easier to understand
