My Warm-ups

5/04/23

I found a fully dark orb. It was mysterious: It had no light coming through it. It was ground breaking-like a black hole.

4/28/23

I jumped in... Several worlds - many options - epilepsy inducing neon lights were flashing - White! - Yellow! - Mint Green! - Sky Blue! - Turquoise! - Red! - Orange! They had it all. It was an abundant clump of vibrant colors and emotions that looked like the Northern Lights! Absolutely beautiful! I kept exploring...

4/24/23

On the drive to work, I saw something in the bushes. Something glowing green mint and sky blue colors-an orb of sorts. I halted on the side of the road. I wasn't going to work-I was going to call in sick so I could explore this phenomenon.

4/18/23

I stopped... I realized that I wasn't all the way there. I woke up... It was all a dream. Not my life... Just my... sudden... 'experience'? I got up from my couch that I passed out on and realized that I woke up in time for work so I got some coffee and headed out.

4/4/23

Suddenly, I snapped out of what had seemed to be a day dreaming experience. I got back to work. Still, this typing mania was not my forte. My endurance for something like this was just not on par. I wanted this to end. I needed this to end...

3/29/23

"I'm... floating?" At that moment, all that was beneath was a neon white type color. I was in a void of white. It was peaceful however; there was silence and nothing to bother me.

3/27/23

I wasn't productive for the rest of that day. Instead, I was just typing freely on a document. "When will this infinite typing end, a second without torment, peace without a long duration this is." All of typing made me realize something.

3/21/23

I contacted the rest of my family members with the dejavu. None of them were that helpful either. At this point, I felt withered; like I couldn't take a step without falling on my face.

3/17/23

I called my mother. She has had the wildest experiences with the dejavu she has. She said that she had an idea of what it could be. She spat out some medical nonsense. I said goodbye and hung up.

3/15/23

I'm starting to think that my dejavu has more use than it needs to have. I learned control my emotions and look like a robot because if I don't, I start to feel like I'm fading into a different world. I need to know what's going on.

3/13/23

Kyle called me the following morning; He told that he won't be coming in to work today and since he didn't have the company phone number yet, he asked me to notify the boss that he won't be in today. Apparently when I had said all of that gibberish to him yesterday, he had somehow contracted an illness via stress... Or at least that's what he thinks.

3/8/23

I apologized to Kyle the next day for everything I said the night before. I suddenly realized something in that moment; I had done this before. I don't know when or how but I have this memory of me doing the exact same thing. I'm starting to think that I have dejavu or something. My family has a history of it so it's not unlikely for me to be experiencing it.

3/6/23

I leaned in near Kyle and riddled him that idea. I don't know if I had gone off the rails with a weird accent but Kyle looked petrified and horrified. It as if he had seen a ghost. I knew I was turning into a different person, but I still kept happy. Right? "We'll see..." It was the voice in my head talking to me... No... Not again. I went to my therapist that night and sorted out my emotions. I feel much better now.

3/2/23

That's right;"Their mind." We all work in a company that specializes in brain and augment technology. We were able to connect ones' mind to another. They were doing this all in secret so I decided to invent something to infiltrate their minds and get the data from it. I said this to Kyle and he looked at me like I was crazy or something. I didn't matter; I was going to do it anyway.

2/28/23

The talk with his friends didn't go especially well. What I mean by that is that they had a little bit of backlash because they thought that Kyle's past theories were correct. Within the following week, their "theory" had been reinforced in their mind.

2/16/23

Critiquing classmates' work:

I spoke out loud for this assignment.

2/16/23

Our co-workers happened to be his friends and at this point, I needed him to talk to them. I told him about this and he said that he had also noticed that. He agreed to go talk to them to which he did the next day.

2/14/23

The next day, Kyle was feeling better. I could tell that he was because of his positive attitude. Some other co-workers however, were feeling like Kyle was.

2/10/23

After a few days, my theory proved to be right; he formally adressed me about that facade thing which I thought was quite funny considering that I had spent that entire time trying to stop that from happening. Nonetheless, I made him accept the fact that I don't have a facade.

2/8/23

After a few days, I think he started to accept that is was not a facade. He started to have a more positive outlook on the situation. Kyle and I actually started to talk more. We're good friends now, but I think that he hasn't put this behind him yet.

2/6/23

Kyle was there so I started talking to him a little bit more bitterly than I usually do. His face started to shimmer with the hope that he was right. I ended the conversation with a very positive sentence or two. He looked a little defeated. I felt bad but I kept it up for a few more days.

2/2/2023

As I thought more about that idea, the more I thought that it could work out. I wanted to show my co-workers that I didn't have a facade. The next day at work, I initiated the plan when getting coffee.

Mike and I finished up our project later that day and went home. While leaving, I told Mike about the facade thing. He said that it was silly and that I should just play along. I thought about it for a bit. "Of course!" I said. "That's a great idea in the long run, Mike! Thanks!" I then went home.

1/27/23

Mike and I were working on a project that could show that being happy and bubbly is normal self. Once again, I over heard Kyle talking about my "facade," and how it's not a reality for my personality. I decided to ignore the fact that he was trying to break my "facade," because it was distracting me from my work project.

1/25/23

The next day at work during lunch, Kyle laughed to his friends. I felt a burning sensation on my back. I looked in a mirror, and behind me, there sat Kyle and his friends laughing at something but I couldn't tell what is was. I walked to my desk after lunch was over and got back to working with Mike.

1/23/23

I knew that he was gullible but stubborn which means that if I could keep being myself, I could totally convince him that I am who I am. I wrote that idea down and the went to sleep.

1/19/23

I went home that day and came up with a plan. I thought that if I could talk to him about this facade thing, he could eventually believe me. As soon as I thought of this idea, I threw it out of my mind because it was not a safe idea; If he knew I'd over heard their conversation, it would be very suspicious that I would convince him otherwise of what he believes. It was too late though, the idea had jumped onto my brainstorming paper. What a waste of lead that was. I then thought of another idea.

1/17/23

My co-worker, Kyle, commented on the situation negatively but that didn't stop me from turning the conversation to a positive one. When he was walking away, I over heard him talking to our other co-workers. He talked about my positivity and how he really enjoys talking to me but he kind of wants to break what he calls, "Jim's positive facade." Right then and there, I vowed to turn people over to the belief that I'm not putting on a facade.

1/12/23

After I jumped awake, I was highly energized and ready to start the day. I drove my car to work and walked inside. As soon as I had walked in, I had ran out. Something was... off. It wasn't a bad thing that was off. I actually ran outside because of shock and happiness. One of my childhood friends, Mike. was now working at the same office as me. I ran back inside and re-introduced myself to my friend who immediately recognized me. We said talked for a while and then parted ways. I went to my desk and my friend went to go get coffee from the break room. When he went to his desk, I realized that he'd filled the open desk to the right of mine! I was over-joyed and ready to start the work day.

1/10/23

I had a wonderful weekend. I waltzed to the flea market in my best mood to purchased some fruits. I ran into John and we talked about the good ol' days. I then went home and latched on to some sleep.
