I went on a family trip to Maryland this summer. A really weird thing happened the first week I was there. I had taken some "souveniers" from a rave with me, but apparently I didnt store them right b/c they barely did anything (pretty sure I wasnt ripped off). While reading a library book I had brought from home (Cosmonaut's Keep by Ken MacLeod), I noticed something fall from the book jacket. It was a little square of foil, with a tiny piece of paper in it, no marking. I decided that nothing harmful could be on it since its hard to put much on something so small, and put it under my tongue before I went to a waterpark with my family the next day.
I didn't think it would do much until an hour later, when I felt my whole body tingling and sounds started echoing. My mom assigned me the duty of navigator, which was hard b/c the lines on the map kept dancing, plus the signs in Maryland are horrendously confusing so we kept getting lost. We left Maryland, entered West Virginia. While leaving Wal Mart after stocking up on sunscreen and waterbottles (it was 105 F) I noticed an elderly black lady riding down the sidewalk in a motorized wheelchair. "I'm going to help her!" I shouted and I jumped out of the car and handed her some water. She was too tired to notice how big my pupils were.
The waterpark was small and crowded, but I had a lot of fun. I did have one sketchy moment. I was in line to go down the biggest slide, and everything I could see around me was breathing in a strange rhythm. This 12 year old girl was playing tag with her brother and his friends in front of me, and one of them tagged me, so I tagged him back on the shoulder.
Then she started a game of ninja tag in the pool when we came out of the slide, and since my thought patterns were like spaghetti I didn't think there was anything sketchy about a hairy 22 year old hanging out with a bunch of fucking middle schoolers. Until her mom started screaming at me and my brother dragged me out of the pool. Thankfully the park closed 5 min later. I was still in rave head space, y'know: "Everybody's my friend!". I wonder how the Virginia cops would have taken that. Lesson learned.
