The sound that came from the loudspeakers

I had swallowed." I bounced off the walls with delight at the sounds penetrating my eardrum. A chill ran up my spine and it appeared the room was full of purple glowing aliens

but then my fears evaporated. They weren't purple glowing aliens, they were Gummy Bears! Bouncing here and there and everywhere. This trip was going to be alright. I could sit

here for a looong time and watch the bouncing gummy bears while listening to The Grateful Dead. It was cool how I could sit and travel at the same time. Where to next? My eyes were

glazed over and my mouth was dry but my mind was awash with visions of dancing bears and I felt no pain. In fact, even though I'd been cramped in a storm drain for 6 hours I felt

more alive than I had felt in my hole life. I was seeing visions of magnificent creatures and spectacular colors that no normal human could ever see. It was like being in a differe

nt world. Living in a giant camera obscura meant my visions were just phantoms of the real world like Platos allegory of the cave. My glaucomic visions ended when an insect plugged

itself into my nostrils. I sneezed and dislodged the insect from my nose. Yet this insect was persistent in keeping me from my visions, and was intimately attracted to my nose.

"Mr. Gnat, why do you like my nose?", I asked. Mr. Gnat answered, "it is your nose pin. It smells like strawberries, blueberries or grapes, depending on what you are doing." What?!

Mr. Gnat obviously had serious issues. I phoned up Pete's Pest Control and they cuffed him and took him away. Better be safe than sorry.
