I can’t believe I forgot to write about the weirdest thing that ever happened.
On Monday, when Rand and I were leaving the restaurant, we noticed a
fairly large-ish group of people standing on the corner across the
street. They stood in a circle, holding hands, all speaking loudly and
unintelligably.
I stopped, and sort of stared for a minute.
“What’s going on?” Rand asked. I pointed. “Are they speaking in tongues?”
“I have no idea,” I said.
We turned away and continued walking toward the car, sat there for a
moment or two deciding if we wanted to go get dessert, and then left.
When we pulled out of the parking lot, the people were gone. All of
them. As if they had never been there.
I pointed again. “What the..how did…where did they go?”
“Maybe they got taken up,” Rand said.
Uh, maybe. It was completely bizarre.
I say either:
1) The Rapture has taken place,and now we’re all hosed; or
2) The aliens ran out of experimental subjects and didn’t want to bother with their usual late-night backwoods theatrics…
Were they wearing matching Nikes?
A similar thing happened to me back in Fall 2004. I thought I saw millions of people who were going to vote for Kerry/Edwards, and then suddenly they all disappeared into the electronic, paperless voting booths of states like Ohio.
I’m not saying aliens did it, but I think there was something sinister going on at the time.
Thomas-BWAH! 🙂
