It was an orientation event and our group of four was supposed to meet on the grass. Only one other person had come early and she had a plastic bag full of tomatoes with her. I was rather embarrassed when she knew my name but I wasn’t able to recall who she was at all. What then followed was a series of history and geography questions that I tried to answer without really questioning why. At one point she asked if I liked “Canadian Finland” as opposed to the one in Europe. Afterwards she commented, “I though you needed to know a lot to be a history major”. I told her that she got it wrong and that I wasn’t studying history at all.

On the front cover of the magazine was a photo of a friend sitting on the window from the interior of a half-submerged house on the coast. The photo shoot took place at a place called “Land’s Lorry”. “When did she get her teeth fixed?” my mother asked me while peering at the cover. I told her it must have been a little over a month ago but she insisted that the teeth in the photo must have been fake.

When I opened up my Battle.net client, there was an announcement that Overwatch had been released early. Before checking anything else, I messaged a friend about the news. I quickly found out however that it was a prank and that the link led to an irrelevant YouTube video.

I opened the door to my room and found my brother with his wife at the foot of my bed. “What the hell happened here?” I asked. My brother got up and said that he could clean up the place but I was more concerned about how they got in as I was pretty sure I had locked up the room before I left. He told me that the door was already unlocked when he came in.

Someone was sitting in the test for me which was being held in the 7-Eleven. My representative asked me as to how to define an “anabolic system” I told them that it had something to do with energy and oxygen. I was later asked by someone else as to what I had written for that question and when they said they were pretty sure it was the process that happened in the absence of oxygen, I became very unsure as to what my answer was.*

I was walking across the bridge when I tripped and rolled on the concrete dramatically. When I sat up, I realized that a bus full of people had seen my fall. I got onto the bus and found myself among a group of three that were headed to see a movie(Ip Man, to be precise). “What are we going to call you after the movie?” two of them asked. It was already dark out when we got off at the theater. There seemed to be some leftover snow on the ground. My suspicions were confirmed when the bus disappeared off the ground behind us instead of driving off, flashing a red “401″ before vanishing. We had been ported to a parallel timeline, making us untraceable to the world we had come from. “Tell me what we’re doing here and I’ll keep playing along” I warned. After walking in silence for too long, I took off for the street corner donning a disguise as I went on my way.
