add mass

I am looking at a shallow pool from 20 feet away.  It is in the shape of a large plate, 150 feet in radius. The water is about two feet in depth. I run radially in towards the center of the circle. As I near the edge of the pool, the water begins to draw toward me. I have planetary mass. The closer I move, the more the water accelerates. I arc my path into the tangential direction and begin running around the outside of the pool. The water doesn’t spill over the edge but continues to follow me around the circle. I am directly in line with the wave crest, connected with the center. I play with the water. I move in and out radially as I run; I slow down and speed up. This creates multiple wave crests. The water surges and dips by the change in position and acceleration. I finally stop still, releasing my influence. The water crashes over the edge. The water breaks up into its individual molecules and glowing tracers stay each of their chaotic paths. They bounce and tear like hot embers in the wind. I laugh wildly.
