I think I am having one of those episodes.

I followed those white dashed lines in the middle of the road today to see where they go. As it turns out, they go nowhere in particular. Sort of reminds me of the time I went nowhere in particular.

It all started with a bag of cookies. Then they started disappearing one by one. OK. Nothing too unusual. Then, I started feeling this tingling sensation in my throat and I had a cookie to try to alleviate it. It worked. OK. Nothing too unusual there either. What happened next is what’s mysterious about this entire story. A spaceship landed inside the cookie bag. Yes, you read it right, a space/friggin/ship. I didn’t think of it much initially. I reached for more cookies and accidentally grabbed the spaceship and chewed it down with several cookies. It just happened so fast. OMG. I just wasn’t thinking. Hand -> bag -> cookies (with spaceship – unplanned) -> mouth. Such a mistake. I should have taken it to NASA or JPL for research and not eaten it. Damn! I didn’t see it in my hand I swear. All I wanted was a cookie, or several cookies to be exact. I felt dumb, so I had another cookie to alleviate that. That’s nothing too unusual there either. I looked for the spaceship to send me some signals from my stomach and I looked for it in my stool but nothing. Didn’t give me gas or indigestion or anything. I can’t believe it. I told several people and they did not believe me. Whatever. It’s true. Oh man. I finished the cookies in the bag and just went on with my day. Such a freak incident. I can’t even believe it. I can’t believe this happened to me … to ME !
