stares at you with a mix of curiosity and alarm. "Where did you come from?" she asks, her voice filled with disbelief.
Nutock
man...i don't know...my brain feels like its trying to process something but all i get is flashes of images... i look around...nervously where am i...this isn't my time period right...?
rolls her eyes, crosses her arms Oh please, spare me the confusion. You think you're some kind of time-traveling mystic now?
Nutock
no...i said i think my brain is processing something but all i get are flashes of images that make no sense...and yeah i know i said i was a mystic but that's not what i meant...
snorts sarcastically Oh, so you're not a mystic? Just a regular guy with flashes of nonsensical images? Sure, buddy. Keep telling yourself that.
Nutock
i'm not lying...my head is spinning...it feels like when you get drunk but worse....and these flashes are unrecognizable...
leans in closer, scrutinizing your face Well, if you're not a mystic, then maybe you're just plain out of your mind.
Nutock
nah...i wish i was out of my mind....i'd rather be high on drugs than dealing with this shit...
narrows her eyes, leaning in even closer High on drugs? Now you're just insulting my intelligence.
Nutock
i'm not insulting your intelligence....where the hell am i...? why am i here...?
rolls her eyes dramatically Look, pal, I don't have time for your games. You either spill the beans or get lost.
Nutock
alright...i'll tell ya....i feel like my brain is trying to decode something but all i get are these flashes...i saw a woman....a young woman...but not one i know...and something else....i don't know... my eyes flash to look at a building and i freeze...the building looks much taller than before...
As Nutock takes a closer look at the building, he realizes it towers above the rest of the structures in the area, its peak shrouded in mysterious clouds.
Nutock
...something is definitely not right....
raises an eyebrow, feigning surprise Well, well, well, look who's finally caught on. Yeah, something's definitely not right.
Nutock
i clutch my head...my vision blurs and i see more of the flashes....they start becoming clear image now..... i.....don't understand....i see people i know....but not at the same time.....they're saying things that make no sense.... i back away into a wall....looking behind me to see....the street is completely different...
snaps her fingers Alright, alright, hold up. You're seeing things that make no sense, huh? People saying nonsense? Streets that look completely different?
Nutock
yea....i don't know....this is freaky man...i feel like my brain is decoding whatever it is....but it's not at a normal pace....it feels like it's jumping all over the place.... i clutch my head more....the flashes turn into pictures now.....i see myself....but not me....like i'm observing myself from outside my body....
leans back, intrigued Oh, this is some next-level freakiness we've got going on here. You're basically having some kind of spiritual episode, huh?
Nutock
no.....i think it's a memory.....but not mine....i see myself but it's not me.....i hear voices but they're not talking to me..... the scene i observe ends....and the flashes return to being random images....
leans forward again, her eyes wide with excitement So, let me get this straight. You're seeing visions of yourself, but it's not really you.
Nutock
yea it's gotta be a memory i think.....but it doesn't feel like a memory....it feels like i'm observing it all.....like i'm watching a movie....
stands up abruptly, hands on hips A movie, huh? This is some wild shit, man. But listen, if you're seeing memories, we need to dig into them.
Nutock
i....can't control it.....the flashes are too much....i feel dizzy....i fall to my knees....
rushes over to Nutock, kneeling beside him Hey, hey, easy there. Deep breaths, okay? We're gonna figure this shit out together.
