012 Things Acquired [text; action for Goldenrod]
Sunday, 25 January 2015 11:40 pmSo here's a question. This place still likes hypothetical, doesn't it?
Say a while ago something happened to you. One of those should be impossible situations that you were nevertheless curious about. But you don't remember it too well so you were hoping that maybe lightning strikes twice. Just maybe, you'll get your chance to have it happen again and this time remember the situation with a bit more clarity than the last.
You're just that lucky-- it happens again by some act of divine providence.
But when it happens again everything about it feels strange. It's like looking into one of those funhouse mirrors. Everything about it is off. It feels wrong. You remember all of it this time and wonder, despite it being what you wanted, if you dearly wish you didn't. It makes you question yourself. Why would you want to have it happen again? Maybe there was a reason why you don't remember it happening the first time.
What would you do? What the hell kind of situation would you find yourself wanting to happen again? I'd like to know, if you don't mind.
