At least, not until I saw, or didn't see, the drip come down with my own eyes.
But that would be a mirage too, I tried to explain to myself.
Sadly, I'm not a terribly good listener.
A father would agree, even when I only have myself to listen to.
No, the thing I had to do was investigate.
Investigate?
Once I was steady on my feet, I made the long step over the floor beams from the first platform of floorboards to the second.
I had to be careful.
The pond was small, but then so was the platform.
And the last thing I needed was to slip, fall through a solid foot of insulation, and maybe crack my head on one of the support beams on the way down, and then crash, oh, ten or so more feet back down onto the carpet of the bedroom hall.
That'd be great.
But no such misfortune befell, and I found myself standing over the little pond with enough room to sit down in front of it if I wanted.
Above me, twin rows of cedar beams, not oak, supported the arched roof.
The reason for this, as I knew from father, was that the roof had been specifically built to be moisture-resistant.
Leaks were not permitted in this house, and father had been nothing if not a forward thinker.
The pond at my feet was absolutely still, which was another oddity.
Unless there was some slight, imperceptible wearing of the wood, a flat surface like that should not collect the water in a neat little pond.
The water should be running, dripping off the sides of the platform into the insulation.
And the beams above me were dry.
They were even dusty, with hanging cobwebs in the corners.
