The Other Side of Strange
So you think you know a thing or two about the world. Of course you don’t claim to be all knowing but sure you feel like you know more or less how things get done. You’re a smart kid and you got a good head on your shoulders so see things how they really are. You aint one of those that walk through life blind. You’re eyes are open.
Right?
Of course not. Don’t delude yourself with misinformation or armor yourself in preconceptions and baseless assumptions. What you are, my friend, is delusional. Granted, it is a mass delusion that the majority of the population shares so I can hardly blame you for it. What I can do though is offer you a bit of honesty.
The truth is that things are rarely what they seem. So much happens right in front your eyes and yet you see nothing of the reality of it. Don’t feel bad about it though because that just means someone else is doing their job. For you see, the world is a far more fantastical place than you’ve been led to believe.
What do I mean? Let me put it to you straight.
A whole lot of stuff your parents told you was fake and pretend are real. Witches, monsters, curses, and pretty much all the rest of it in some shape or another. I don’t expect you to believe me but maybe you can indulge me for a bit. Just maybe you can look around yourself and instead of accepting the stock explanation for things you let yourself view things a bit more clearly. The simplest explanation for things and all that. Honestly, sometimes that murder really was just a monster under the bed. Sometimes the shadow in the woods really is more than just your imagination. Sometimes things are exactly what they appear to be and sometimes they are more.
Course you don’t have to listen to me. After all who the fuck am I? Feel free to turn around and go back to your rational world. Ignore me. Forget me. Tell your friends about the crazy guy. Or you don’t. Perhaps you join me here in the real world. Maybe take up a job and make some friends here.
As always, the choice is yours.
