The Lightning Story

Not too much to report. Bear with me; this is a long process. I am working on transferring my Church, my hardware, to a location in the glass city. This takes awhile, especially since I must constantly recon to make sure I'm not going to turn a corner and run into the real-world ruler of Nerdvana.

I think it's high time I told you how this whole thing started. How I came to be aware of the idea-worlds. So....drumroll, please...

The Lightning Story

I got struck by lighting. Seriously. I was at the top of a cell phone tower, doing something. It was the middle of the night. The thing I was doing was highly dangerous and illegal, and I was doing it for a high-paying customer. That's all I am at liberty to disclose. Just accept that I was up a cell phone tower when a storm hit. I should've climbed down right away, but I did not because my customer was VERY high-paying.

I don't remember the actual lightning strike, just a very bright light. I came to at the base of the tower, tangled up in my climbing equipment. I was singed and my whole body tingled. I felt nauseous and had to puke right away. The whole tower was fried, and so my iPod. I ran for it before any maintenance people could show up. I guess I'm extremely lucky to have survived; my climbing equipment clearly slowed my fall, but still, I didn't even break any bones. I wasn't even BRUISED.

I spent a couple days recovering via copious marijuana use. For awhile, everything was normal. And then it started: I'd be using my hardware and I'd get these sudden flashes of somewhere else, another world. It only happened when I was plugged in, surrounded by the blinking lights of my Church to Technology. Everything would jitter and I'd see the other world superimposed.

I thought I was tripping, or maybe losing my mind. I decided to investigate the insanity rather than trying to get rid of it with Prozac or something. That's how I gradually discovered that it was real. Another world. And in time, I learned that it was an idea-world, created from someone else's thoughts. Somehow, being struck by lightning had allowed me access.

I'll talk more about that first idea-world later. For now, I've got things to do. And...maybe...people to see. Hint, hint.
