Vestigial Surreality: 01

By Douglas Christian Larsen

Episode 1: Jack. A chance meeting in the park leads two strangers to discover strange connections between them and the world, and in truth both had felt that perhaps there was something not quite right with the world, something different. They have both noticed improbable coincidences popping up in their lives, at an almost alarming regularity, and now, meeting, they witness strange signs in the heavens, and find themselves on a bizarre path that will make them question their very reality, and the reality of the world and universe.

From Plato's Cave to The Matrix, philosophers and scientists and dreamers have wondered about reality, and sensed and felt in their bones, that perhaps what you see and touch may not be exactly what you think it is.

The world may not be exactly what we think it is. There is no body. Data is data.

Jack crossed the street into the park, journal under his arm, pen clenched in his teeth, his attention soaking in the already warm Spring morning. He felt it must be like walking in Hawaii, not that he would know. He shifted the one backpack strap on his shoulder. Ah, April in Hawaii, he thought, grinning, not too bad when you are stuck pretty much in the middle of Colorado. Of course, he should be at school today, and he rarely skipped school, but it was that kind of day when Jack allowed himself a little rule breaking, for the most part to do some hard copy thinking in his journal.

He snatched the pen from his teeth and tossed it into the air, and barely watching the pen’s flight, he caught it in his left hand and snapped it back into his teeth like Tarzan’s bone
