Strange forces from a different dimension are running riot today. Either that, or we are experiencing an unusual electromagnetic storm somewhere that is causing everyday things not to work as they usually do.
I’ve just learned that the Andromeda galaxy is on a collision course with our very own Milky Way, and when they collide, the Universe will be a completely different place. It shouldn’t really have an effect on the Sun or the planets in our Solar System, but the entire shape of the two galaxies will be changed forever more. And I suppose the new Supergalaxy will need to have a new name as well. Andromeda Way sounds like an address, so I think that won’t be used.
This collision, however, is not due to happen for at least another four billion years, so I’m of the inkling that we don’t need to be watching the skies just yet. I also think it is unlikely that this will be the cause of my unusual happenings, so I’ll have to see if I can come up with a viable alternative.
I own a multitude of mobile phones. Some are old, and are no longer used, so they aren’t included in this paragraph. I have three that I currently use… one as a camera (I used to use it as a mobile phone, but then bought a newer model. I like the camera on this phone, hence the reason for me keeping it); one is my every day mobile phone; and the third is my reserve back-up mobile phone – the one I need to use if I leave the other phone in a different room, for example. This sets the scene for unusual event number one.
My reserve back-up mobile phone received a text message.
Not the most random of unusual events, I give you, but the alert to the message completely startled me… I’ve never received a message on this phone before, and to hear the sound of a trumpet blowing at high volume when one is reclining and relaxing by oneself is enough to make ones soul leap out of the body and leave it a quivering wreck. Luckily, for me, I only jumped slightly and kept hold of my soul.
The next strange encounter I encountered involved my mouse. I use a wireless mouse, which, although completely dodgy, it only lets me down when the batteries need changing (at least once a month). I’ve written a couple of posts about my dodgy wireless mouse before, but never has it done what it was doing today.
To be honest, and in all fairness to the mouse, I don’t think it is the mouse that’s at fault, which is why I’m looking for an external explanation. The mouse was working fine (well, as fine as it usually does!) up until half an hour ago. Since then, it is behaving in a slow motion fashion.
To get from one point to another on the screen, I seem to be scrolling for ages. Not only that, but the curser is moving in a diagonal direction, as though it is being pulled to the top of the screen, so I have to pull it downwards as well as steer it to where I want it to go. And, it’s heavy! It also seems to be flashing (the curser, that is – the mouse is always flashing), and not at all as smooth as it usually is.
I’m not sure I’ll find the reason for this slow, heavy phenomenon as mouse mechanics isn’t a strong point of mine. Never mind.
The third and final oddity is I can taste metal. I would describe it as a silver taste as opposed to iron or steel (or any other metal), but it is there. I’m sure I haven’t been eating anything metallic based, although I did eat a rather spicy curry yesterday, and sometimes the spices can have an explosion of flavours all of their own. Charred metal, I’m led to believe, isn’t one of them.
No, all of these events have a supernatural connection, I can tell. I can feel it in the air. Apart from the galactic collision, that is… that’s natural.
