Falling through Library stairs into a gelatinous Dinner

"I was walking down the stairs at the library, holding a stack of overdue DVDs. I wasn't scared, just super annoyed I'd have to pay the late fees. The steps kept getting softer until the bottom one just dissolved. I kept falling. The air got really humid, smelling like chlorine and burnt toast. I hit the water, but there was no splash. It was thick, like clear hair gel. I sank in slow motion. I wasn't holding my breath, just annoyed I dropped my glasses. At the bottom, there was a fully set dining table. My old boss was sitting there eating dry cereal. I tried to swim over to ask him about the DVDs, but my arms felt like they were moving through wet cement. He just kept pointing at my shoes. Woke up gasping, but my sheets were totally dry."
