Ok, I just have to tell you about this weird thing that happened the other day. I was walking on this dock. I had walked along this same dock many times. But this time, just when I got to where I expected it to end, I noticed something.... it just kept on going. Suddenly, I noticed that this strange fog had gathered in front of me, and that it had been there all along, in the distance. So sure I had been that that was where the dock ended, I  had assumed that the fog was coming up from the water in front of it. This stretch shouldn't be here, I thought- and yet it was. I shook my head to get back to reality, but the stretch stubbernly remained, mocking my sanity. For a moment, I was too baffled to do anything. I was scared to see what other abnormal sights might wait ahead on such an impossible thing, but I couldn't just turn back. So, I took a step, and then another. Shivering, I continued to walk forward, half-expecting each step to be the end. To my horror, it didn't. It suddenly occured to me that it may never end, that I could be walking this stretch forever, but never able to give up and turn back, because it was so impossible. Surely, there had to be an end.

So I walked, and I walked. For an eternity. Never reaching the end. And now I am for one brief moment back, from the edge of eternity, to warn you-  don't trust a familiar place, it will surely fool you.
