- Guys! Guys! I gotta tell you what just happened!
-
- Okay, I was down at the beach surfing right? Minding my own
- business, tinking about how MISERABLE this world is, catching these
- glassy 5' tubes, getting hungry,...etc, and feeling sort of GUILTY
- about getting thrown out of my ECK class because I missed one lousy
- PAYMENT, although you'd THINK that after a YEAR they'd show you some
- LENIENCY--but I digress.
-
- Anyway, so there I was surfing when all of a sudden I became
- aware of this peculiar noise. Sort of a rhythmic swishing sound
- which I realized had been going on for quite some time and which,
- as I listened in terror, built up to a deafening roar. Then I was
- violently yanked into what I can only describe as a seething vortex
- of light and shadow, in which I was painfully scoured for an inter-
- minable length of time until I began to see the most fantastic
- visions:
-
- Grit and foam became YIN and YANG. I saw the great Wheel of
- Life, including my own death and futile rebirth into yet another
- cycle of MISERY. I even fancied I saw myself stepping into an
- impossibly ornate elevator and pressing the button marked '6.'
- And throughout this whole experience I felt myself "bound" to the
- world of my everyday existence by an elastic "cord" attached to,
- or emanating from, my ankle. Just when the pressure became unbearable
- and my sanity began to slip from my grasp, that cordlike sensation
- somehow pulled me back!
-
- After that, I guess I panicked. I got out of the water fast
- and the bizarre swishing noise faded away while I ran home. But
- what the hell was it anyway?
-
- HEY WAIT A MINUTE! You don't think...? Naaa-aa-aa-aah.
