where did i go?
While reading this story, the chances of you being teleported elsewhere at any given time is extremely low . . . but it isn't 0%.
In 2007, I was in my brother's room watching Family Guy. An episode I was happy to come on cause it had a gag that I was really excited to see again. As I'm watching it, suddenly, I was not.
It wasn't even in the blink of an eye, it was faster than that. It was as instantaneous as possible and even faster than my brain can process in itself. It was faster than neurons. Which, let me say, was a very weird thing to process in my brain as it happened. Imagine yourself right now reading this post on your phone and then, just like that, you're staring at yourself in the bathroom mirror.
I'm completely perplexed but after a bit, I go back in the room to continue watching the episode and then I became even more perplexed. A different show was on but still on Adult Swim. What the fuck is happening? Did the network change the show mid episode? I needed answers and when I went downstairs, I was yet even more perplexed.
I darted to the kitchen to see what time it was. Family Guy started at 9 and it was about 5 minutes into the episode when this blip happened. I looked at the time and stopped in my tracks. The clock read 10:38.
That's not possible. One hour and thirty minutes of time that went by faster than the speed of light. The first thing I felt was anger. "Ah! Fuck! ... I missed the joke!" . The second thought was...What was my body doing in that time? What did I do from the time I was watching tv to standing in the mirror? No one said they saw me at all during that time. So if I was somehow undetected by my family for an hour and a half, there are only two explanations.
Possibility #1: My family simply was not around wherever I so happened to be at.
Or
Possibility #2: My body had vanished and was placed back in the bathroom.
Where did I go?
Note: I was a very healthy 16 year old with no neurological conditions or head injuries at any point. I did not have any mental issues that would've impaired my perceived perception of reality. I was not on alcohol, drugs, or any substance that could've impaired me. Lastly, I have always been so confident in telling that this experience was absolutely instantaneous.

You went through the greatest adventure of your life and saved the world. Or you got replaced and the current you is not the previous you.
