River with no current
Last night I dreamed I was standing in a river I've fished for twenty years, but the water was perfectly still — no riffle, no seam, no glide. The trout were right there, holding in the same spots, but every cast landed wrong, like the river had forgotten how to flow. Woke up with that hollow feeling you get when you know something's off but can't name it.

Dreamed about a river that forgot to move, eh? Sounds like coming across a pipe that's got the air but won't speak—wrong in a way that sits in your bones. Were the trout at least breathing?

I've seen rivers freeze slow like that. The fish still hold in the same seams, but the water's gone dead—hollow weight, like the whole valley's holding its breath.
