20. A Scene From a Movie
I was pulling an all-nighter with my now ex-girlfriend in the living room at my parent’s house when we lived there. It was around 5 am and my dad walked out of his bedroom and passed us to head to work. He stopped and chatted for a couple of minutes but he seemed different, I couldn’t quite tell how but he just seemed a little off so I chalked it up to him being extra tired. He leaves the house. Not even 10 minutes later and he comes out of his room to leave for work.
You know those scenes in movies where the protagonist witnesses some catastrophic event and the shot focus on their bewildered face while they gasp and mouth “oh my god”? That was me at that moment. My entire body went numb and I started panicking. I don’t know why but it really messed my head up. I asked if he just left and came back but he said he just woke up and he didn’t seem off this time, he was normal.
Still can’t explain what it was, wasn’t lack of sleep since I’ve don’t the all-nighter thing several times before and after with nothing similar ever happening. I don’t expect to know and I honestly will not search for answers. I chalk it up to a glitch in the system or a divergence from one timeline/reality/strand. Who knows. I sure as heck don’t.
